[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 845129, member: 555320"] LOL....hardly irrelevant. We aren't talking about personal preference or audibility, but [B]accurate sound reproduction[/B]. In that, distortion is 100% relevant. That's not even a discussion. So yes, a low distortion sub is absolutely a sound quality sub. There are no two ways about it, and no personal preference about it. Low distortion = high sound quality. And the W7 (and any other "supersub") is absolutely capable of that. Just because it isn't [I]limited[/I] to solely being a sound quality sub, doesn't mean it [B]isn't[/B] a sound quality sub [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Again, it's all in the end use. Can a supersub get loud if you want? Sure. And it'll have more accurate sound reproduction than any other sub on the market at those levels. Can it be used in a pure sound quality install with even better results? Absolutely. Again, read what I wrote about Xmax and how it affects a sub's linearity. There is NO QUESTION that a "supersub" will be more linear than what you consider to be a "sound quality sub" simply because it will be using less of it's capable linear excursion compared to the lower excursion sub. Again, this isn't a debate or a discussion, it's a fact. Again, low distortion = high sound quality (most accurate reproduction of the music. So yes, they will absolutely be pleasing at low levels when set up properly. Again, you are absolutely wrong. It is most certainly a sound quality sub. Again, go read what I wrote about excursion. You are absolutely misinterpreting long excursion as it's only use. [B]IT'S NOT[/B]. Again, take two subs; one with 13mm Xmax and one with 33mm Xmax. Now, play them both to 10mm Xmax. Which will have the lowest distortion, and hence the best sound quality? Again, the high excursion sub. Why? Because it is using less of it's capable excursion, and as excursion increases so does distortion. Not a debate; a fact. So, again, prove to me how a "supersub" is not a sound quality sub. The problem here isn't other peoples perception......it's yours [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Most of these "supersubs" are the most accurate subs on the market.
