Don't know if this has been said or not because im not reading this whole thread, but i think 95% of the people in car audio will rather have the ttruck thats louder to ear than the truck that meters better. This forum and a lot of others are only a SMALL percent of the people that actually have systems. Not everyone cares about going to shows to meter their car. They just want something thats loud.
Exactly, it's not only what equipment you decide to use, or even what you have planned out on paper. All-in-all it comes down to how it simply sounds to the ear, regardless of what class it is considered; SPL, SQL, SQ.
This is car audio, and if something bumps with clarity then it will be recognized. You can only take meters so far, who ****in gives a shit what a computer says. This is something that was made and developed for human senses, not a god ****ed computer. My problem though is how many people can badmouth a SHOW CAR. Honestly, how many of you actually been to car shows. If your answer is yes, I have been to many; then you obviously know what kind of gaudy *** shit you're in store for.
I'm seriously bewildered by all the commentary; you're all the mega kings and queens (mostly queens) of car audio. You know exactly what is considered cool or practical and what is considered absolutely "unnecessary." Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Although, unfortunately there's a difference between envy and personal beliefs.
Personally, my feeling is most of the bullshit being said is not only inhospitable but 100% malevolent. That's all it comes down to, none of you people know when to just shut your ****in mouths...one of these days all your nonsensical comments will lead to a nice sized ~ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif
