[QUOTE="DiB, post: 355348, member: 547580"] It's all subjective. And your last statement is too. You can take an all out spl woofer and make it sound quite nice with the right enclosure or make it do 62hz louder then no other and sound like *** for anything else. If anything, it's all math. If you want true SQ you need to determine the type of box needed to most accurately reproduce your desired range of frequencies IE 20-80hz. Bu that is still subjective! In my book it boils down to semantics. We needs simple words to describe what we without getting too technical. So we(we as a generalized whole but not all since there are always exceptions) came up with SQ sounding smooth across the entire spectrum. Then SPL was for an all out boom usually set for a desired frequencies. SQL was deemed to be a mix of the two. I'm sure you know all this but as you might or might not know a sealed box often times is easier to make then say a box tuned to a lower hz 20-35 and a sealed box does meet the requirements for the major consensus on the definition of an SQ setup. It might not be as loud but it doesn't just produce those frequencies softer, it does a lot more. Ok, that is my morning rant, tear me down or build me up, whatever just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
