Hey guys, I am new here. I am all for SQ. Of course sometimes you want it loud, nothing wrong with that but no one wants it so loud that even the low end is distorted.

True. Plus..It is Easy to get a Loud System..Anyone can buy a 2000 watt amp and 2 JL subs. SQ requires a great amount of skill, research and experience. The effort that goes into Imaging and combining components for a great sounding system is immense and FUN..Creating an SPL system can be accomplished by a 13 year old kid.

I always find it funny when these guys who are into SPL ask questions about AMPS...SUBS..Head units..Etc...It's easy....big watts and big speakers period.

I beg to differ. Im shure there are others also.

Both SPL and SQ installs are time consuming and require a lot of skill ...

Who cares which one is easier ...

I know SPL guys who spend just as much time, if not more, on their install then I do.

well I was being somewhat sarcastic about speakers and Amps but COME ON...I can say withou a doubt that making a LOUD system is easy in comparison to SQ...I don't even have a favorite either.it's just common sense.

BUT NO SHIT THAT IT TAKES ALOT MORE TIME TO INSTALL AN SPL SYSTEM THAN AN SQ SYTEM.MORE POWER WIRING ETC....But you are never going to convince me that SPL requires immense Technical knowledge regarding sound dynamics and technical speaker specs..etc.. etc.. And No doubt SPL guys will take exeption to that.

Gime me 4 15" Adire Brahmas in a Bandpass Box with 1500 watts each.

see how easy that was.

Now try and tell me how to combine specific Mids, Tweets,Horns,Subs to reach optimum frequency range, Imaging, Crossover slopes..in a 6X6 vehicle cab with Dynamat Extreme so that the center channel seem vivid with depth and clarity without the highs too piercing nor bass too muddy below 40HZ and maintaining proper satellite locations......BLAH...BLAH...BLAH...ETC>>ETC>>>ETC>>>>I think you get the point.I have no Idea what I just wrote....Some people do..like SQ guys!

Plus why do people starT in SPL and then gaduate to SQ???????????

Oh I know Adires have SQ. Not the point..The point is Reaching high DB levels is Cake. Take a freaking amplifier and through home speakers into the bed of your truck.

Again..I have no biased eiher way..I just think it's funny that the SPL crew tries to give the impression that they contain some incredible knowledge to be able to squeak out a few more DB's

It's something not alot of people would bring up on this forum..But it's fact..Talk shit all you want, SQ practically requires a college degree. SPL just requires MONEY.

I am sure the "silent" majority on this site see my point..But it's quite fitting that the SPL fans are always the "LOUD" ones..LOL

No offense to anyone..I just think it's funny

SQ wasnt cheap the last time i checked.

 

[Depression 10+ year member]

It's like Comparing a Formula1 race car to a 72 Nova

And to make it Even..I also would say hat the SPL guys are the tougher crew listening to Westside connection..usually SQ guys are kinda fruity..Classical music and shit!!!LOL

Obviously phasing and tuning takes no talent? Personally I think both are **** hard to do correctly. I dare you to go up to Gates and tell them SPL takes no work.
