Never mind.

It's taking the scenic route, no charge. :eek:

However, I equate seeking having nice audio in a car is like seeking nice audio in a shower, almost a fool's errand. Improvements can be had, until one uses it as intended, by turning the shower on. There are so many variables at play, that have an effect, like occupants, their size, what they...

OK, so to be clear, what then is claiming another's comment is "hogwash" with no factual info to support the claim or decades of professional experience designing, building, using and selling thousands of cutting-edge speaker cabinets for top level recording studios and large outdoor concert...

To some, "sound good" includes an amount of clipping (amp and/or speaker) that they feel and interpret as "sounding good". Typical clipping adds highs and distortion. Nothing wrong with that when one is making a record, etc and its intended. But any listener that adds that outcome for their own...

:thumbsup: You are paying attention. From my expereience, with the parameters I already mentioned, the smaller amp NEVER sounds better, at the worst(?) it only sounds the same, but that was seldom. I felt the most likely reason was simply a higher voltage power supply and design, similar to...

It's called "confirmational bias" and easy to prove with a simple double-blind A/B test. Lamp cord is far from ideal, but it's biggest downside is simply too small of guage , and easy to resolve. If they really want ultimate speaker wire, pure silver is it, and less than $10K, good luck of...

So where is the Titanic when you really need her?

Is the "Wide Load" banner optional on the ocean?

My definition, anybody two working ears is a "sound tech". The difference is in their training to understand what they are hearing and why. We all started out knowing absolutely nothing, and we all are usually on the same path hopefully moving forward, but always at a different place. I make a...

You can't realistically compare a typical 6x9 car speaker with any 12" in any way except that they both produce sound, ignoring what the particular 12" speaker is designed for and intended use, ie, horn loading, ported bass reflex, acoustical suspension, infinite baffle, passive radiator...

Well, it appears that controversy is finally settled based on who has awarded you the first "like" on your above reply. I'll add mine. My experience being in the industry over 5+ decades has been in nearly every case, listening to two different solid-state amps of the same...

Baloney, this detail (which was not explained) among others is flat out wrong, "You need the amp to be well below the rated max speaker handling and then everything will sound tight and nice." Besides stating the obvious, "In the end, it's up to the OP to sift through experiences presented by...

I do not doubt your experience. I do question the basis for your conclusion from it. Guitars and their speakers create music, car speakers are normally tasked with reproducing it, a huge difference.

Well then, we disagree, a true infinite baffle is not considered to be an "enclosure". Any enclosure can become when large enough an infinite baffle. There is no industry wide standard of exactly when that occurs other than when speaker mounting no longer effects "tuning", a rather imprecise...

A foam speaker enclosure has a tuning component, whether its beneficial to the case at hand is subjective and likely happenstance. There is likely no magic to the foam, other that its likely cheap and lightweight.

NOTHING could be further from the truth. I am not questioning your end results nor compliments received. Under powering any speaker is a recipe for distortion and often leads to speaker overload as fed signal goes square wave as the amp clips as volume is increased. Now if you are the main...

That is misconstruing what is taking place. At some point any space when it becomes large enough relative to the speaker behind the speaker is effectively called an "infinite baffle". It is intended to provide no tuning, period. Nearly any size trunk meets that threshold with 6x9 speakers. As I...

That is a tough question. There are so many variables at play here. One issue is/was the speaker itself designed for a tuned cavity, most likely not. I personally think in a typical car environment the effort/costs/time etc with proposed solution is not worth the small potential for any...

The Battleship "Alabama" on display in Mobile, I toured it for 7.5 hrs and still did not see everything. Very impressive.
