[QUOTE="Jeremiah25, post: 2625568, member: 570469"] I get amused by these arguments really. So many people fail to realize that SQ is subjective, and not everyone looks for the same output out of an audio system. Some people are bothered by a peaked frequency response that will vary more than a dB or so across a broad frequency range, while others are not. Some are perfectly content as long as nothing is severly distorted. In my opinion it all depends on your goals, and this is evident by the vast majority of opinions on the subject. Resonance (DD) makes a great woofer, but it is a little hard to get a flat frequency response out of it, especially if you extend the range of testing down below the range of sound found in the majority of music. Some people are very concerned about sound at 10hz, and if that's you then a DD probably isn't the sub for you. I personally have no idea why anyone would be concerned about those extremely low frequencies in a car audio environment. With home theater I could possibly see it, but not really for car audio. From 35-120+ hz the resonance subs will perform very well. You can make them extend lower if you put some elbow grease into it. I've built boxes that extended down into the 25hz range well, with minimal rolloff. That range would probably cover 99.999999% of the songs ever made, and 100% of the songs that I would listen to, so I'm perfectly content with my resonance built subs, but I will admit it took alot of work to get them to perform well in the lower bass shelf. I've worked with other brands of subs that would do it with much less effort. [/QUOTE]
