[QUOTE="Papermaker85, post: 8478335, member: 572595"] a woofer can mask distortion? a correctly designed woofer will typically have lower distortion over and tweeter and/or mid-range on the principal that the bandwidth is so limited. i don't know who told you that but its just not true. they have so many woofers on the market that aren't designed with great sound reproduction in the first place so typically no one really know what a great sounding woofer sounds like, lol i think your thinking of the concept that it maybe harder to HEAR some forms of distortion at lower frequencies which does have some merit simply because your approaching the humans hearing bandwidth limits but fact of the matter is that a good listener is capable of detecting 1% harmonic distortion. I'll agree odd order is alot easier to recognize than even order harmonic distortion. honestly by the time you put the woofer in the trunk your adding coloration before you even have a chance to hear the actual signal hence i love walls [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
