[QUOTE="mvw2, post: 6261490, member: 574722"] If you understood the science of audio, you would know your answer from the start. Start looking into the basic concepts of sound and how car audio physically functions. Look into what audio really is and what we try to do to [I]correctly[/I] reproduce it. I'll give some hints. -Audio is stereo. It consists of a single left and single right channel and a mix of the two to create everything in between. No additional source information exists. -K.I.S.S. is a good mantra to live by. (Keep It Simple Stupid). A minimalist approach is generally the best approach. -The most ideal setup is a single left channel point source and a single right channel point source. Ideally we'd want a driver capable of reproducing the entire frequency spectrum, i.e. the ultimate full range driver. It just doesn't exist, so we use multiple drivers to cover the entire frequency spectrum. We're forced to do so. -What sounds better. You have two stereo systems. You place both systems in your living room. Play one system. Now play both systems at the same time. What's better? -The goal of audio reproduction is to accurately reproduce the source information. This is not only just frequency response and output levels with minimal distortion, coloration, etc. but also the presentation, the stage space, sing and instrument location (width, depth, space) on the stage. You should get a sense of where the audio was recorded. Was it in a sound booth, some guys basement, an amphitheater? If the hardware is good enough AND it is installed and tuned correctly for the listener, this information will exist. If you mess up, then what should be there is jumbled, out of sync, overshadowed, etc. Understand the science. [/QUOTE]
