SOUND QUALITY VS LOUDNESS

[@KRRZ350]

Anyone can make a system loud, but it's how good it sounds when it's loud is where it counts for me

[@ASSOpid]

When I first got into car audio back in the late 80's I was a loud bass head. Then I met an old guy at a local sound off. I learned so much from him. He told me a good sounding system should sound great at low volume as well at max volume. The bass, mids and highs should sound the same....only louder.

[@ankeviousoliver4472]

At a certain loudness it's hard to tell quality imo so I see how it hits the lows

[@sergioh2015]

@ankevious oliver yep, low lows for me not the mid or high low lows

[@davidperry4013]

There is SQL which is a hybrid of SPL and SQ. The JL 13W7 is the loudest sub that is considered a pure SQ sub. Fi, Savard, and a few others make pretty solid SQL subwoofers. I like 144 to 148dB of sub and 107 to 110 dB of mids and highs the best. Around 100w 90dB efficient sound quality speakers, and 2 12s at 3k to 7k wrms in a ported enclosure would best suit my tastes.

[@thediddlefiddler5569]

Yup. Unless you're competing, 1000watts for bass is pretty much the threshold before you start drowning everything else out and your "audio system" becomes a bass system. If thats your thimg, sure, build ya bass, buddy. However, if you want louder bass to ENJOY MUSIC, find the best SQL sub between 1000-1500watts and run it.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

It's not how loud you play it, it's how well it plays loud

You can tell you're an OG of the bass game... we old dudes been sayin this for years.

[@rodolfosotelo5929]

Man this right here is what we all wanted to hear. Some of us do what we can but we dream of those nasty 6th order windy builds. Being a cancer patient I lost all of my small equipment back in 2019 I went from my small set up to no bass for a while. Then I threw in a home subwoofer with a kicker 300.1 amp 😅. Then the bug hit and little by little I started working on my builds Wolfram audio was a huge stepping stone for me to get out of the hole of depression and get my relationship with my kids back to par. God is good and we are still slowly building to get to that goal. My build is puny compared to most builds but the sentimental value it holds for my kids and I is beyond explainable.

[@amanteapasionado6836]

Me personally I like both or SQL. I want it to sound amazing and get loud when I want it to. Now it doesn't have to be SQ competition good with $5000 components sets, but like 2 or 3 pairs of a good decent $100-350 set of speakers with dedicated amps and crossovers so its nice and crispy, and some 12 or 15 inch subs. I dont need it to be four 18's on a 20k loud, but I like the option to turn up the bass when I want. Too much bass and the option to turn it down is better than having the bass knob turned all the way up and still not enough. When it's not enough bass your gonna keep turning the volume up sending a clipped signal (distortion) to you subs until they go up in smoke.

Which brand has cleaner and softer thumping bass? DD Audio, CT Sounds or JL Audio?

[@theegreatest9322]

From those 3 jl audio . It’s also all on the box and amp ..

[@PhobosPlace]

back in the day when i use to compete my friends would use to compliment me on how crisp on how my sound quality was and asked me how i got it to sound so good. i hated if my sound would distort or sounded badly it would drive me insane. even if it rattled to much outside it got to me lol.

[@jlspunn]

I personally think that sound deadner should be put in all vehicles with systems cause I don’t even like hearing other peoples cars rattling much less my own. It’s affordable and can definitely be done in stages but I agree if my car rattles it drives me a bit crazy. Some of it just can’t be prevented but for the most part you can control the biggest part of it

[@PhiMobileSounds]

Same, it’s a whole entire spectrum. There is a whole other level in SQL competition that is not touched on here in regards to proper staging, pin point time alignment, sound floor reduction, realistic recording reproduction and the Installation Quality component compared to a straight up basic tuned loud and clear systems. The Goal in SQL is to build and tuned to a point “you could here a mosquito fart” (slight exaggeration). … A true SQL system is really challenging to achieve. A perfect SQL system would have a driver and amps specifically designed and purpose built for each frequency on its own channels, but that would be a step from impossible. In either SQL and SPL the major trade offs including Space, Budget and Quality still apply. The EU and Asian market has a way deeper scene for SQ (IMO) … it’s great to see the diversity in car audio overall. The big question is where does SPL go (without relying on plug-in generators) when power sources change in 15-20 years as gov regulations change?

[@juliobello4561]

The last part you said man that’s what I always think when I worked in Tesla factory. And until this day I believe we are also living in the best era of car audio. Big beefy amps and subs because next 15 years we might not be able to run those babies like now :/. Same reason why I kinda pushing my self to install all my gear to my car. I have old school soundstream equipment but now I want to go full install because I don’t know if future I going to be able to play with them like now.

Sound quality is more than clairity. It's more about accurately reproducing the original song without coloration or distortion. Hence choosing a sealed box it's more of a flat response than ported.

[@joshuanickerson1108]

I remember back in the late 90’s we built sealed walls for spl. And I family built a potted box this early first system I’ve had in over 20yrs and boy two 12’s in a ported box belies the sealed box I had them in out of the water on the lows. And back then in the 90’s 5k amp on two 12’s was not something you saw ever.

[@BassAddict91]

I Tell guys all the time on my channel videos does car audio no JUSTICE. Especially like you said on bigger systems or systems that achieve a certain DB level.

[@truckguy9413]

When someone says SQ to me I think of KZbinr Pssound. Go watch a few of his build videos. Some might get into the 140db range. Its more about imaging, depth, and reproducing sound exactly how it was recorded. Very difficult to do in a vehicle. It’s not the same sound quality you talk about here. SQ finals was this last weekend in the U.S in Missouri. Lots of great vehicles from all over the U.S and a few from Mexico.

[@rodneygrant7726]

My personal experience with this is that you have to have balance; you have to have clean bass and loudness...if you can be heard and can still hear the words crisply you're good. You said the exact words- build a system to your liking because you have to be happy with your finished product.

To reproduce the audio heard in the vehicle correctly, a microphone has to be made to take that pressure and reproduce the waveform. (Long throw) Similar to JP's steering wheel.. A passive bass reflex capable of the excursion of the flex without bottoming out the microphone coil or simply blowing it out.

I like SQL the best. A set of SQ speakers that are 75 to 150wrms per side and around 90ish dB efficiency, and 2 12-inch SQL subwoofers at 3k to 7k watts RMS in a 35hz ported enclosure with low group delay is my dream setup. I have 12 inch fi neo sub and it's getting 1500ish wrms from a 1300 watt Pheonix gold amp and it slaps despite having being in a less-than-optimal enclosure. If I did my system all over again and had the money, I'd get 2 Fi Neo 4.7 12s tuned at 35Hz or try a different brand of sub that both has great sound quality and gets pretty loud. I'd also do 3-way active fronts and 2-way passive rears, a high res DSP that gives me the ability to bypass the headunit with a digital audio player for maximum sound quality and do an AMP rack instead of screwing the amps to the backseat. I'd show it off at car stereo shows after the fact.

I have it all in a 2017 Civic Si. I have another 12W7AE but my electrical system sucks and don’t have the ability to run a h/o alternator. I traded a 2009 CTS due to a code for stretched timing chain but my CTS was pretty violent for just 2 12s.

Some may consider my civic to be more SPL than SQ but it’s really clear sound, I have my vx1000/1i set with TUN software so the bass sounds really good also, very minimal distortion even at higher volumes. I plan on doing maybe a new blazer strictly SPL, maybe 10,000-15,000 watts. It’s all money and we ain’t taking any with us when we pass so might as well have fun with it.

[@Chuck_Sanders]

@@sweetlips4704 Fs is simply the resonance of the parts in a free air environment, in all honesty it is pretty much a worthless parameter. It does not indicate the frequency response of a sub (lower Fs is not going to just "play lower" although it's apopular belief) and Higher Fs does not mean that a sub will " not play the lower notes". A speaker simply will do,, what you tell it to do, in the enclosure, that you put it in. Putting a High Fs driver, in a box tuned to 33Hz does not mean it is not going to play the frequency range from the Fs to tuning..and totally miss it. That is not how it works and is totally just a myth. It will do whatever you tell it to do, including shredding the soft parts and so forth, Simply because it does not know any better. While the Fs is good to know, and meesed sometimes as an input value, it really doesn't mean as much as Qts and Mms, just in my opinion though.

Ive got a question when using multiple subs is there any difference between putting two subs in a combined airspace and shared port vs them each having their own separate airspace and seprate ports.

I use one big port for two subwoofers as long as they are on the same amplifier it's not a problem

It won't really matter if they have "shared" box volume, or separate "chambers" but, you'll need to tune each "separate" chamber accordingly, but if it is "shared" then you will tune the net volume of the entire enclosure...with whatever frequency you decide. Remember to figure in bracing(if any) and wood thickness(including multiple baffles..ect) and you'll be fine.

I think D4S should carry American Bass to me in a sea of quality brands D4S carries AB is also a solid brand you should carry, I don't think they sell a "bad" sub but yet AB and VFL are excellent. There xfl is probably one of the best selling sub going, and the HD an x Maxx monster are total bad boys, id put them against anything in there price range and then some like Xv3 or the U even the Z.

Its got to be 2 feet over your head, 2 feet wider than the car, bass from the front image, and nothing but a clear picture of sound... Which gets loud enough to hear it over the highway with your windows open.

What is the name of the bass that causes an earthquake?

I love sound quality and loud at the same time 🤣🤣

Loud and clear for a bass head is different for a sq person. Sound is subjective. Just be happy with you have and can afford

I go SQ loud. If you can't make it clean you shouldn't make it mean.

I don't really care what stupid people think and there's a lot of them in all comment sections. The sad part is people argue with unknown strangers with low iq's and then vote accordingly. That's why the world is falling apart.

All of those people out there that judge your system based off of what they hear from their phones or tv's are obvious noobs and therefore their "opinions" should matter minimally or not at all

I'm working on my 99Towncar I'm trying to get the best of both worlds Sq and spl? A car is the hardest vehicle to make music sound good in? You just can't throw 2 4 or 6 speakers in the trunk and hope you have good results? It takes time I been working on my system for over two years now I started with 2 12s now I'm up to two 15s and its a big difference I have enough bass now I need to get my mids and highs on point?
