kirill007 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Car audio in general isn't something you can judge accurately just from a video What can you judge accurately from a video? To the OP, that's very far away from anything close from SQ. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fat your mom is No but for real, not much. Videos are cool and fun for sure, but you miss out on a lot. And when it comes to car audio you miss out on too much imo.

White Lightning Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I done a "walk around" vid and a "bad company" vid on White Lightning a while back and they turned out ok I guess.

miniSPLlancer Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Loud does not equal "sound quality." I've seen SQ being judged with windows up, volume at reasonable level, SQ cd playing and the judge in the drivers seat, unless it was SQ+. And mp3 doesn't count as SQ, flac file counts though, and cd of course. 2011 Mitsubishi OutlanderSony 712 Soundqubed HDS208 Alpine MRV-M500 Transmission line enclosure Soundqubed wiring Knu rca XS Power battery CNF terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 True sq can not be judged by a human ear at all. True sq is the measurement if accurately reproducing a song. An actual rta is needed to measure this. The flatter the freq response on the rta the better the musical reproduction. Human ears are flawed and can't hear a flat freq response if it was screamed in to them. A human has subjective sq.

Human ears are flawed and can't hear a flat freq response if it was screamed in to them. A human has subjective sq. What they like the sound of is what they will vote for Hmm. SQ = Sound Quality. Imaging, sound stage, noise floor. Close your eyes and listen to hear if the vocals are focused and where, then the drums, piano, guitar, etc. Then listen to a different track for left and right separation. Are they correct and further apart than the doors, or right at your thigh and (worst case) reversed? Then the reflections from behind you to get a sense of space. Are you in a tiny car or a live venue? Is there an underlying hiss or tone or mechanical noise or rattle that tells you it's electric, or does is sound like actual musicians? Of course there is more like dynamics and control, but this is already getting long. Frequency response is one thing that is measured in an SQ competition, but actual SQ is definitely judged by human ears. In person. Inside the car. Without a mic. Not on a video. I'd give up a point or two on the RTA to receive a better score from the listening judge. As long as I was 35-37RTA (out of 40) and could still get 135+dB I was usually okay. Totally flat usually doesn't sound the best, especially after they listen to a bunch of bass-heavy systems before yours. When I competed it was four events for a total score: RTA SQ Install SPL No adjustments in between. That said, I agree with your assessment of human ears being flawed, as well as what lies between them. It's the reason I stopped competing after only one season. A bunch of first places in different cities and a fourth--beaten only by customers of the host shop...some with incomplete setups... I think it's one reason SPL stays so competitive. It's a number on a meter and able to be regulated much more closely. (I know the rule benders and issues are always present, but it's much less subjective). Static drops are my bag.
