let's get a tally going....to see who is more for loud bass and who is more for accurate...not as loud bass...

and give the reason why:-):-)

then you would want SPL....not SQ. lol

SPL is just loud bass....with no regard to accurate musical reproduction.

SQ is the exact opposite...with no regards to "extra bass"...just enough to make it sound....perfect. lol

So you're saying that you can't hear SQ bass? I have no "extras" on my system....the EQ's are flat and the bass boost is off...and I have a pair of Diamond D3's...so what do I have in your opinion?

you said i want to feel it more than hear it...
i took that to mean you want to feel the bass more than hear the music.

there is still bass in a SQ system...especially one that gets loud...but it isn't exaggerated to the rest of the songs sounds

the topic was bass not music so that's what I meant...God no I like it to sound exactly like the artist intended it to sound...nice and balanced

if i had to choose over a single idq 10 or an SPL setup i would choose SPL. now you have to atleast let me say a good SPL sub like an MT or something than CAN be used for daily... because i really want to say SQL lol :-)

i want to say spl, but pure spl would get old real fast for daily driving and it is more to show off to other people. so i say sq because then you can enjoy fuller sounding music and that will never get old:-)

i agree, but on the other hand they'll probably have speakers so loud by that time there will be no fixing it anymore.

spl never gets old to me.lol

but u really should put it in better terms

like Kicker L5 15" ported vs. a 8w3v2 sealed or something, because u can say it sounds good but still gets loud (sql) and u said no sql

Right......no SQL systems....either a purely SQ system or a purely SPL system.


IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE ONE....this isn't hard guys. lol

Just like my quote in the profile, this is what I believe:

"An SPL enthusiast is just someone who hasn't heard a loud enough SQ system. Either that or they don't really enjoy music, they just enjoy getting looked at by strangers."

SQ definitely costs a lot more than SPL though. (To get it loud enough.)

there is such a thing as an AQL setup, its a setup that has potential to do well inthe lanes but doesn't necessarily do it all the time. My setup can go to a lane and put up very respectable numbers but with the way it is currently setup its a SQ setup. Turn the gain up on the amp to 30% and change my EQ to setting 5 and its a whole different system.

Spl. The only thing better than being loud, is being louder.
