[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6290291, member: 549629"] I notice you dont mention the intensity level during judging. Let me guess, 126db? [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Yes, Ive seen the same argument, that they've won SQ championships, to suggest L7's have great SQ too. But the reality is, if what you suggested were true, that its all in the tuning, we'd all be running massive subs with 4" voice coils and extra stiff suspensions. If the 9500 is this end-all be-all you seem to be implying, why did DD come out with their 'ultra SQ oriented' 9700 series? If its all in the tuning, why did you shell out the extra money for a 9500 when you could have just run a 1500 series? While I agree tuning and installation play a HUGE role, more so than the actual driver, to imply a sub with the design criteria like the 9500 series is a 'SQ sub' is just disingenuous. Even DD wouldn't say that's true. Lets face it, you own and have won with a 9500, you have a bias in this discussion, and its showing. [/QUOTE]
