There is no rattling car panels so the bass is cleaner and tends to sound deeper as a result. The response is also more linear which can sometimes change your subjective impressions of it. Try and imagine sitting in the house and having your eyeballs shake, nose itch and clothes blowing around like in a loud car, it just seems ridiculous because expectations are totally different. There is plenty of room in a home for impressive setups, but the gain just isnt&#39; there in a large room. AVS forum has a member by the name of NOTNYT anyways he has 8 LMS ultra 18&#39;s on 2-4kw a piece. IIRC the setup does well under 150db full tilt, IIRC it&#39;s more like 135-145 range. However, he does that score within a db or so anywhere between 5hz and where he crosses them over... He has a buddy with 8 Sundown zv4 sealed in a smaller room, similar score, a couple db&#39;s quiter, but in the same ballaprk of 135-145.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p>
