10% THD is said to be inaudible in the sub frequencies. I'd be more worried about the driver itself, as some can have a THD of 20+%.

JL 10w6v2's FTW.

I was with you up until that statement. I have no clue where this idea came from that a subwoofer shouldn't play above a certain frequency. Trust me, if you hear a GOOD sub stage, that can easily play up to 100hz, you'll realize what you've been missing this whole time.

This! Specially since i listen to alot of rock and this car has 6" midbass drivers that honestly aren't bad at all.

That goes into the whole 'at what frequency does sound become directional' argument. Which no one really knows and will almost always differ among individuals.

100hz isn't going to be that directional, especially since it'll be coming from 3 10's in a very small cabin.

have seen people with subs crossed over at 100hz be quite successful in the lanes, but it is more of an exception vs. the rule. I have also seen great systems that played 100hz and up through midbasses mounted in the rear of the car.

Then again, as i said, i'm not going for the lanes, just SQ in my substage. Since you seem to have a hard time understanding that let me rephrase it for you. (I WANT A HIGH QUALITY SUBSTAGE.)

The phrase "good sub stage" has nothing to do with frequency response, it should be judged more so on blending correctly with the rest of the system, which is dependent on other drivers and installs vs at what frequency is it crossed over yet.

sure it does. If you blend a shitty substage well with a nice front stage, you'll still have a shit mccflurry.

So yes you are correct that it is possible but usually easier to accomplish through other means if you are competing.

I'm not talking about unusually high frequencies on the subs (60-90), just more of an emphasis on mid/low-bass than ultra-lows. (20-30's)

Of course if you are merely going by what sounds good to you, then as long as you are happy, who gives a shit about anybody else? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hey! i agree!

so did you ever pick out an amp? or are you just gonna b&tch at everyone for trying to explain things to you? do you need an amp that does the same power from 1-4 ohms, NO. you know your ohm load so just get an amp that will produce the power at 2.67ohms. is it really that hard? plenty of amps have been brought up in the thread that will do the job you are looking for.

there is a phoenix gold xenon 1200.1, it does 1200 at 1-4ohms.. get it and be happy

p.s. your far from an "sq" system with everything else being stock in your cute little eclipse

#1 yes i picked out an amp already. The JBL GTO14001. it will do about 1400 at my ohm load and should be super clean, although that's only going from specs, i never messed with em.

#2 I'm not requiring my selected amp to give the same output through a range of ohm loads. But I'm thinking it is more likely to work better for my specific application because if i get one that puts out maximum output at 2.67 ohms i am getting more power for my money than getting a bigger amp to put out the same power. of course there are plenty of exceptions to that rule.

#3 Better check out the stock system in that eclipse before you say that. I plan on upgrading it eventually, but the substage is top priority at the moment.

#4 why do i feel as if i am repeating myself a lot?

HAHA well normally I would call it logical that if everyone questioned me, the error is most likely in my own opinion. but as lord byron said, "Society is now one polished horde, formed of two mighty tribes, the Bores and Bored."

bump.

do no amps compete with JL's and have more power?
