[QUOTE="McIntosh, post: 5798984, member: 605496"] I enjoy bass as well, I have a sub in my home system. As far as the timing (I think its BS especially in a car) I recently got a new Alpine 9886 with that capability (for a couple hundred more). I figure sound travels at about 700 MPH and I'm 6' from the back speakers and 2' from the front. Without doing the math, something tells me a human brain can't discern the delay. I'm not a bat trying to navigate after all. I also thank you for your level-headed response. Loud bass is one thing, virtually ALL bass is another. When I witness a car door open next to me at a mall/store/whatever and hear no mids or treble AT ALL it makes me cringe. What's next, nothing but super tweeters? To each their own I suppose, but that is NOT how the artist/band recorded it. People after SPL (or bass) alone clearly don't love music. Its basically penis envy: look how big my woofers are, perhaps you'll not notice my other "shortcomings". [/QUOTE]
