total sound quality, spl not the issue

No, not whatever, he is exactly right, and you have shown your lack of experience. You boast about your flat freq response, and then show a modeled graph of out-of-car response as proof. Sure, standing out in the middle of a corn field, that would have a rather flat response. But, in your car, its not flat.

i know that, i even stated in my post that this was before the obvious cabin gain. out of car though my setup should be pretty flat. i'm not competing in world finals. i just wanted a setup that sounds relatively flat. this sounds a lot more flat than my prior sub in my prior box. without major EQing i don't think you could find a better drop in alignment. thats all i am saying.

my new setup sounds exactly the way i was looking for it to sound.

If we want to get technical, transfer function shouldn't really change with speaker placement/aim, but wave interferance (constructive and destructive) will, which will of course alter system frequency response as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
edit: On second thought, aiming will also alter amplitude of the transfer function just not the frequency, which makes what Electrodynamic said true. (ie: aiming at plastic interior panels versus aiming at a reinforced steel panel)

I actually combined two thoughts in one sentance earlier. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I was thinking transfer function changing due to vehicle acoustics and then frequency response changing due to placement and aim. But now that you mention it, placement could alter the transfer function as well.

In any event, Im glad you are happy with your system. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sometimes I almost wish we could go back to just tossing in an 8 track and a pair of 6x9's, and bragging to our buddies it's hi-fi. Almost. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

bump for a good thread

why? lol

if your into SQ and not SPL like the title of this thread says, then head over to DIYmobileaudio.com. they are the SQ crowd. there are very few here that actually care about SQ more than just being loud.

Isn't loudness a quality of sound?

In a technical sense it's a quantity of sound, or a measure thereof.

Technically speaking its intentsity, not quantity. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If you want to start really mincing words, SPL would be the intensity. Loudness would be the generic quantity.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Ok ok you are half right, it would be the perceived quantity. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif :
