[QUOTE="Wabatuckian, post: 8581073, member: 673204"] Welcome back. You're not alone. I'm back into car audio with c. 1997 tech knowledge. Some of the stuff they have now is awesome, prices have dropped, and there's less knowledge required. There are also things that I do not like at all, and some of the old school stuff is still superior in a few areas. For example, it does seem like sound volume has evolved in favor of sound quality, when I would have bet that SQ would have continued to evolve. A mixture of old school and new school seem best. I'm running a Skar 10" sub that's putting out approximately what we would have used two 10" or 12" to achieve back in the day. It's pushed, however, by an old school a/b amplifier with 0.04% THD. Up to 10x that is acceptable today. The argument is that anything under 1% cannot be heard, but I argue "distortion stacking" in turn. So, it's whatever floats your boat I guess. I'm digging the tech mix, though. Regards, Josh [/QUOTE]
