SQL: Does it exist?

[donpisto 5,000+ posts]

I'm sure this topic has been discussed and who knows, maybe another thread has been created. But people, understand there is no such thing as SQL in audio. In computer terms, yes, there is, which is used in reference to databases. In car audio, there is no such thing...want proof? Here's partial. Check each of the links. What definitions do you see in relation to audio for SQL (other than the one stating a circuit in a receiver)? There's your answer of whether or not SQL exists.

SQ

SPL

SQL

I don't see anything for SQ, so maybe that doesn't exist either...

May as well throw out 'sq' too since its immeasurable.

But keep spl since numbers>all.

Third definition.... it clearly states "sound quality" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Not really. And yes, SQ can be measurable. You can notice whether one person's stage is centered as opposed to not centered.

I dont really see how there actually isn't such a thing

...there are subs that just get **** loud, but can't reproduce certain frequencies, or do it not so well

Now if I would define sql, it is a speaker that can get loud, and be very accurate at reproducing most frequencies.

obviously some setups are louder, and sound better, can't argue with that, so sql is real

RE XXX or MX, AP Revo, Jl w7

Are these just considered "spl" subs?

It does NOT define SQ...

And just how does one measure that???

So I manage to get my $10 Dual comps to provide a centered stage, do I now have SQ?

 

[mlstrass 5,000+ posts]

Off to bed, but I'm hoping someone provides a definition of what SQ is and how it's measured...

Haha. I like being able to get fairly loud, have great lowend with a small enclosure and minimal power. Gotta love efficiency. Plus, can't drag down the weight in my car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
