Hodges Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I recently up'd the power to my subs ALOT by running them in a 4 ohm load (8 ohm subs) and bridging my amp. My "loudness/spl" went up alot but now my car rattles way worse and my music does not seem near as clean. I have always figured myself to be a pure SPL guy but now im doubting that. My bass seems to be overpowering my mids/hi's and I just dont like that very much. Time to add some sound deadener to the car and a amp to my mids & hi's I guess.. Anyway, I was just wondering if there were any others in here that were ever more into spl then begin to lean towards the sq area..I have spent zero time on this forum in this sq page but today im going to do nothing but read up and see what I can learn...My next system will be sq oriented!! Thats all...Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackYardSoundZ Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think anyone who knows what good sound is knows what your talkin about, ima sql my self, half and half, good sound while gettin real loud like people say Steve has, thats why this business takes alot of trail and error.

kingsuv Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 There is nothing wrong with wanting a great sounding system. To be able to play in the SQ and SPL side takes a ton of work. It can be done but not without understanding what you want it to sound like. You can add a lot of speakers and have it loud, but it may not sound good. Ya know? When I did the wife's truck, it was built for SQ. Without the cut, i bet a pair of 10's or a single 12" would be all the truck needs for a really well rounded system. However, we like the boom, so we went with a pair of 18's and plenty of power to push them. Now the trick is to be able to turn the beat down enough to keep the warmness of the rest of the system.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
