"what kind of sub will be heard from 2 miles away"

something just simply stating... i just want super loud, i dont care about quality.

Let me give you two scenarios.

#1

You're hanging out in front of when some guy in a drives by and all you hear is really loud sloppy-*** bass that doesn't resemble the music at all. It just sounds like his car is rattling apart to some song that you can't really distinguish. All you hear is BRAAAAAP BRAP BRAAAAAAAP.

Usually one can only assume he's listening to

I personally can't help but laugh because it sounds like shit. I mean if you want to get loud, why don't you just buy a motorcycle or a shotgun?

#2

You're hanging out in front of when some guy in a drives by and you hear the loudest, cleanest, most accurate sound you ever heard ever coming from a vehicle. You feel the bass and hear the song as he drives by and it sounds incredible from a distance. His car doesnt' rattle half as much because he invested in SQ and not SPL but you can make out what he's listening to and know that there isn't any distortion or sloppy response.

I personally would be like 'woah that was pretty sweet' on the other hand on this scenario.

What I'm saying is, in the long run it does cost more to make something sound good (and gives a better 'wow' factor). Why do you think Bose asks you to sign over your soul on their lowest line of products?

So many people buy cheap equipment (ex: pyle) that's really only good for sPL because it's too cheap to have SQ. In effect, most of the systems in your town are the same because of poor, ignorant high school/college students. So when your friends hear you're awesome SQ system, it'll be something they've never heard. A good, loud, sounding system.

If you're install is good, I bet those O's fit the bill...

If I were to get a set of CDT's for my front rather than what I'm running now, the SQ coming from my car would be orgasm-inducing. Right now it's just intense foreplay.

Yeah i feel ya wags, I noticed i got alot more attention when i had my sq box in my car than when i had my spl box in. Imean when i had my pioneer premier i had people coming up to me asking me what i had when all it was was one ten out doing their subs in the SQ and SPL department. Most of my subs are SPL subs but i make sure that they play good sounding before i make it any louder.

SPL in daily drivers is gay...

I think some of these people dont know what sq is in audio. They think sq is just clean and crisp and loud. Not that the frequencies all sound really good. Some of my friends dont realise that with a larger sealed enclosure you'll get more of those lower frequencies then with a high tuned ported enclosure. Just because you dont port your enclosure and have 1000w going to your woofer(s), doesnt mean at 30 hz you cant shake the pavement.....

SQ doesnt always mean your peak in SPL will be 80db..
