Blackedout Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 SQ is a whole different kind of competing. SQ is more than just a good sounding speaker. Tonality only plays one part in competing in SQ. There are other factors like sound stage, imaging, time alignment, turn on/ turn off pop, alternator whine, white noise in the tweeters. True SQ cars almost paint a picture of what an artist or singer is doing in front of you. Sit in a world class SQ car, or even a top local competitors SQ car... It should give you new meaning to a 'good sounding' speaker. Now to answer your question, I don't think you're going to score high with those speakers unless you have some serious processing behind them to really get them to shine, and even then it may take more than those speakers to get a decent score... But they might sound alright, have smooth response, and work for you. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackedout Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Lets get some more information. What car is it going in? What deck are you running? What model boston amp are you running? Any sound deadening? I don't have anything to say about those speakers because I haven't tried them. I prefer pro audio speakers over car audio speakers. I prefer running active over passive. Two things those speakers aren't. In addition, I don't run a rear stage and wouldn't advise doing so in a SQ setup. I run selenium speakers and tweeters.

There are methods you can use to increase the midbass out of your door. First thing is sealing up the entire door. Raam audio has a pretty good tutorial on how to do this. http://www.raamaudio.com/pages/How%252dTo.html The better you can get your current speakers to sound, the better chance your future speakers will be an upgrade.
