[QUOTE="mlstrass, post: 7833894, member: 569126"] how does it defeat the purpose? It allows him to run any mids he wants and set up a bandpass for them. It may not be ideal to YOU, but that doens't mean he won't be happy with it. It doesn't matter what you can measure, if the listener can't hear it for whatever reason then it's not a problem. You're talking about concert hall/stage set ups, why??? Has nothing to do with a car audio environment. Roll down the highway at 55mph with the windows down, SQ isn't a concern, just being able to hear it is the main concern. Having very loud bass is much the same way, you're main goal is to make sure the mids/highs can be heard. Not comb filtering, staging, imaging, ect... I've done a lot of PA set ups in cars that meter from 150-160 and the owners have all been very happy with how they sound. That's the end goal, plain and simple. Unfortunately all your doing is throwing your preference at him, not helping him figure out how to make what he has work. If you don't agree with what he's doing, then move along and don't respond. I run 6.5's, 8's, 10's, 12's, and 15's in my demo set up, all running active off the same HU. Gets VERY loud and sounds very good to the average listener, so I know it can be done... [/QUOTE]
