SQ vs. SQL vs. SPL

[Slayerx 10+ year member]

I think a key thing being missed here is when people talk about spl, they are talking subs, and when about sq, they are talking about thier front stage.

A nice sql front stage is quite the experience imo, it can be amazing that it is so loud and dead on clear and accurate like sitting right in front of a live band.

SQL by far, its great to have something that sounds like sex to your ears and can also put up good #s on a meter. To me good sql is like having a 12sec daily driver, something that can perform well when called upon, but then you can ride home comfortably in it and take it to work the next day. Probably a bad comparison but hopefully I got my point across.

you Americans and your 1/4 mile times //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif but if I was going to make my comparison like that it'd be similar. Except I would have said a car that can perform on a track and then rip through the mountain passes on the way home.

I'd say with sq you have vanilla and spl you have chocolate. Both alone are alright ice creams but together they are great.

We americans like the 1/4 mile because our obese bodies cause too much weight transfer to go through corners effectively //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

So is SQL strawberry because my box of neapolitan is only ever missing one flavor.

I don't need to tell anyone what I like...

But as I've gotten older, I have come to appreciate having my hearing, tinnitus is terrible and annoying as hell. You don't want it. The problem with pushing 150 in a car you sit in is the damage done to you and your passengers.

My car gets loud enough to become uncomfortable. The entire time, the sound stage is maintained and so is tonality/clarity. My subs are always turned down to blend with the front stage so I hear bass instruments in th sound stage. And they are 12 years old. With new subs, I could easily be louder... But I wouldn't use the extra output.

If you want a SPL capable vehicle that can give SQ, you run two separate sub setups.

I'm low budget SQ. My whole setup probably costs like 1k. Not enough room in my reg cab truck to have a SQL/SPL setup. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Anyone mind throwing some info on setting up time alignment properly or just put up a link.

SQ all day and tomorrow. Straight SPL is pointless to me, esp for a daily driver, i dont see how you can enjoy the music.

 

[RSDXzec 10+ year member]

I always listen to music on my system so it's always sq for me, I've had people say my system isn't as loud as others but theirs can't hit the lows like mine can. That being said my current box is tuned to 25hz and on my next build I'll be going to 30hz because I am missing a bit of higher end output.

i agree... i dont like riding around all the time with mine full tilt. not saying im just ear busting loud anyway just saying. when i ride i usually wont go over 1/4 of the gain just because it annoys me... 1/2 gain is max for riding and thats only on a short distance.( 10 min ride max) other then that 1/4 gain....
