I had SSDs but wanted more SQ so i got SI BMs. they sound awesome but aren't really musical. What makes a sub musical or not musical? I like listening to rap/hip-hop but eventually i get bored and put on rap, its prolly like 50/50, but when i play rock it almost sounds like my subs are choking haha idk it just sounds bad, how do i make em sound better?
more musical is the better it blends in. its almost impossible to make a 15" 3000 watt sub sound musical because it will outpower any other speakers in the car... a more well defined component set and smoother response from the sub is musical.
muddy usually means that they have a long decay time. the waves/pressure hangs around longer then the note, thus not allowing the definition in the notes you want.
It is a very hard thing to deal with in a car situation. Getting rid of reflections off hard surfaces, changing orientation of the sub can help.
