[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2660062, member: 560148"] Meh, at the end of the day theories describe reality, not the other way around. Regardless of what "should" happen, if you not getting the same results in real life, your theories are wrong or aren't developed enough. In either case, what ACTUALLY happens wins out, regardless of why. I'd assume Randy and other SQ guys have spent literally thousands upon thousands of hours messing with their cars. If they have can all agree that midbass's in the back generally isn't idea, then it's probably not. Whether or not they know why this is the case or not isn't the point, it's reality. If theory can describe why, then more power to it, however, to simply say their real world experience should be dismissed is assanine, at best. In the real world things get dicy, speakers aren't perfect, neither are mounting locations, reflections, resonance, etc. You can't always account for all of it. To use azimuth cues as the be all end all of where drivers can be mounted is missing alot of other variables. This came up on ECA too. Werewolf was discussing the pros and cons of kickpanels. Theoretically, if the midrange isn't running above 2k, you can simply place the tweets up high and your soundstage shouldn't suffer a bit. However, most of the better IASCA competors agreed they'd never actually heard a car do what werewolf said "should" happen in theory. In closing, in theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they arent... [/QUOTE]
