[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2882965, member: 549629"] You are right in that whether or not people give a crap does not necessarily equal good or bad SQ. But the [B]demand drives the market[/B]. No, I wouldn't use most rock to fine tune a SQ setup either. But then, I didnt start a thread trying to legitimize this sort of claim. Can you honestly say you could see a professional tuner using [generic] rap to fine tune a SQ car before an event?
