[QUOTE="stangme01, post: 459291, member: 554027"] no I think all subs REALLY REALLY need eq'd, but 'tight" does not indicate more or less distortion, its just a characteristic of the sound. You could not eq the xxx to sound like the PBX, the xxx has its own type of sound. Also in a car MOST of your distortion come from the car, not the speaker, so in car audio I wouldn't be too worried and wrapped up in speaker distortion because normal distortion added to a decent volume level subwoofer is ~20-40%. We're comparing xxx distortion of like 7-8% to a SGLC LGLC which might have 4-8% more at full volume. Its negligable to the ear in a car. In the house its a little more important but even then most home stereos have an admitted 10%+ distortion just from the amp at full volume, let alone the added speaker distortion. Tight is just the sound of the sub, as I said, not something to determine distortion. [/QUOTE]
