Which is more impressive? 150@40 or 150@70?

[Electrodynamic 10+ year member]

A buddy of mine and I were talking today about what we find more impressive - broad-band high SPL systems or the narrow-band high SPL systems. I said it's more impressive to me if someone pulls a 150 @ 40 Hz than someone pulling a 150 @ say 80 Hz.

What do you think?

PS: I put more options in the poll other than just the one's I mentioned.

i concur. i like lower freqs though, so if i were to compete i'd be going low

I think there should be a SPL class that measures your reading at three different frequencies say 30 50 and 70 hz and combines all three for an avg reading of SPL for that system. This would keep people from going after 1 frequency and then having a system that can't play music for the interested fans attending local comps. DB Drag has almost killed the sport of car audio IMO since for awhile anyway you couldn't listen to the loudest systems at a show for this very reason. Having a complete system where someone could hear their fav jam at 155-160 db would be something the fans would want and make them more apt to follow then a single note vehicle again IMO.

I know some organization in europe does something along those lines. Different frequencies are different classes.

As for the question at hand, the lower the better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
