You don't like sq?

I was just reading a post, and I realized something. A lot of people ask the question: "What's a good SPL sub? I DON'T CARE ABOUT SQ, I JUST WANT SPL". This really makes me curious, don't you like music? Don't you like hearing good sound, and not just loud sound?

I mean, you all can't be going to db drags.. most of you must be wanting these SPL subs for daily listening.

Can one of you SPL fiends please tell me, WHY?

I can make some quotes, if you want.

Yeah, that's what I thought would be the norm. Apparently there are more SPL heads though.

For a lot of poeple its a feeling they are looking for rather than sheer music... A few thread and posts back their was a tread that emphisized on the comparison between marijuana and caraudio.. And i repeatedly state, theres nothing better than smoking a joint and feeling the music pound, vibrate, rush all through your body, tingle your spine, consume.

Most SPL seakers i presume do it just to be loud, others do it to feel the music..

My 2 cents

A guy parked his car next door to where I live and left his stereo blasting. The bass was loud, but lacked sq. All you heard was one long vibration with no variation in low tones and no distinction between one note beginning and another ending. I like it clear, clean, tight and loud. But I don't like it just loud, to where the song no longer sounds "natural".

Most people who are asking these questions dont realize how big the difference is in sound between flat out SPL and flat out quality.

I like more SQ than SPL because theres a certain extant to SPL before it starts to drown out the music, and all you hear is an earthquak.

I don't know about everyone else, but bass generally makes by day better... I could be having the crappiest day ever and get in my car and play Pass Me Da Green and feel better...granted that song isn't the best for Sound Quality, I like how the bass just fills you. I love sound quality and how defined bass notes can get, but I also want them to blur my vision. It's hard to explain.... I know what sound quality is and I love it, but I also have to have that loudness.

Having both is very difficult sometimes... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i love that...like getting a massage every time you drive...

..and to reply to the original topic, i love and strive for better sq, although, my original never-loud-enough motto takes precedence

Asking what questions?

you can get loud, but still sound great.

SQ speakers tend to be more expensive in the long run, from what I've researched and experienced.
