DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNAR!

Douchestacker, you DON'T have surround sound...

You have TWO CHANNEL SOUND... coming from behind you!

Hey Douchsm... I NEVER said I have tru surround sound. You said I just have speakers blarring from the back. I then informed you how you were wrong. I said I have a surround sound style setup. Meaning I have speakers surrounding me in all directions. Sloooooooooow I tell ya...

Also, you say your system is loud...but is it loud at a single frequency or across its entire spectrum? Pro-sound drivers cripple their speakers by producing low-xmax/low weight cones (drives up Fs) that have very little displacement but provide high efficiency at higher frequencies. The result of this is crap midbass and a very beamy and bright midrange and treble.

Go measure your system with an RTA...you could probably take a bath in those troughs in your frequency response. LOL

No...you have speaker blaring behind you...To have surround sound, you have to have material recorded in 5.1 6.1 7.1 or 8.1

The reason you cant hear the difference (albeit I highly doubt you have installed a DVD-A/SACD player in your vehicle and attempted to hear the difference) is because you make your system the weakpoint instead of the recording. It becomes much easier to discern nuances in music if you have much higher dynamics, quicker transients, flatter frequency response, and low distortion.

I understand what you are getting at. But I also believe this is something that maybe a SQ competitor or sound engineer needs to deal with. Not me.

No...lol
Do you understand how much displacement is necessary for 150dB at 3khz and 100hz? (I am assuming we have 2 speakers, so the requirement drops down to 144dB and I am negating phase cancellation and other variables that we would normally have to overcome)

12,023cm^3 =144dB @ 100hz and 13cm^3 =144dB @ 3khz...100hz is in itself an extremely high xover point for a midbass. Lets assume 60hz which requires 33,396cm^3.

To put this into perspective, each of your 6.5" midbass (assuming 126cm^2) would need to have 265.05cm of linear xmax or 104". WOW!!!

Your hearing is incredibly more sensitive at higher frequencies as compared to sub bass (roughly 50dB+ more sensitive) and you will go deaf after prolonged exposure to 105-120dB.

he meant keep up with a system thats playing 150DB, not get to 150 DB themselves.

WTF? What is so hard to understand. I said I do-not have tru Surrond Sound. And I have speakers behind AND in front/sides of me.

See, you're such an r-tard... now you're trying to use MY insults/names... on ME.

At least try to be original.

Yet again, you are using opinionated jargon.... that is INCORRECT.

You don't have SURROUND SOUND. That's all there is to it.

Ok....So you have speakers baring from behind you and next to you and in front of you.

Yes.. in a typical home theater surround sound fasion. Get it? Please get it this time... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Surround Sound Defined:

The popular term used to describe an experience where the sound 'surrounds' you. This is best achieved using surround-encoded material, a receiver, and surround speakers.

There is the definition for you. Stop using the term incorecty

You understand the point of stereo dont you? Well, in case you dont know it is to create an atmosphere and optimize two individual points in space so you can have the "im there" factor. When you play it in surround sound, you are destroying this atmosphere...you might as well be playing it in mono.

Yup...this is why at concerts speakers are beside and around the stage...not firing from the rear of the auditorium/Arena/Venue
