SQ or SPL?

[Dizzie]

Which do you prefer? Sound Quality or Sound Pressure Level (feccking loud)

[tobz.]

SQ everytime!
Anybody can throw a really loud system together but who would want to listen to it if it sounds like sh!te.

Get the right gear, and u can near enough have both !! 

[tobz.]

Yeah I came close last summer until some thieving gypsy decided they deserved my system more than me! Third time my system has been thieved, now just got a headunit running a shelf no amps, no sub 

[davidhawkins_78]

Doh !!!

How can u live with no sub though - that's just plain torture !!  :-[

Doesnt have to be that expensive - system i put together in my other car cost me bout ?600 and sounds crisp and clear to me.

Mainly Kenwood, which aint the best but its not bad.
12" sub
7 x 10's shelf
6 x 9's in doors
3" mid/tweets in dash (JBL's)
Jackson 4 ch amp (the weak link)
Kenwood h/u radio/cassette. 6 disc changer in boot.

Doh !!!

Yeah tell me about it! Especially when you've gone from running a 15" sub with a dedicated mono amp to then having no sub 
The thing that hurt the most though was the loss of my alpine cda-9813 I'd only had it 6weeks and was only just getting used to all the features. I'll have it all again one day once I've found a permanent car and got the security sorted first.

there were some really loud setup's at the cruise last night, but they sounded terrible. you could say they had a fuzzy sound to them lol. mine's crisp as now. just need to finish tidying it up.

i have my top tend and mid range cranked to the top and the bass line very very loud and punchy.
SPL, CLEAR and CRISP for me


cant go anywhere without tunes blasting from the Dub
