I planned on either using an ID 12 D4 on a 500 rms amp.
I could get 4 JBL C608 MKII for the doors but im still debating on it.
Well said!rollingstock wrote:Biggest problem with Trini is they don't understand music.
I'm guessing this is a sub graph.
A flat response from you sub and enclosure is best. It DOES not mean that your system will sound flat. Music is dynamic, so will actually hear how the music was meant to sound.
That happened to me, and years later cleaned my ears and took out a lot of wax. It was like removing ear plugs and hearing definition again.nervewrecker wrote:Gladiator wrote:Go get an audiometry test on your ears. Use that as a reference to tune your music to your liking. Not everyone hears the same wrt frequency.
Most humans hear more in the midrange frequencies and less in the lower and higher regions. That's why we tend to boost bass and treble.
The curves are standard curves for sealed and ported enclosures. The sealed has a slower roll off and a lower overall frequency response. That would sound fuller and more balanced but require more power.
The green curve shows a boost at the tuning frequency. Would require less power to sound louder but the frequency range is limited and the control or damping may not be as good as the sealed.
Whats very strange is over the last few days my hearing changed a lot. Started with the right ear and now the left.
I used to find that systems properly done were bright to me. Now mine sounds like its lacking on the higher end. I'm wondering if i'm now hearing properly.

we dont have to be formal or rent a space or a classroom , keep it cost free , product ad free & very casual so newcomers wont feel intimidated by other ppls system or feel frighten as if ppl will move snobbish towards strangers ...

Attend one of those ICE meets if you can. I started SQ in 2012 (was into loud bang previously) after hearing a great red mazda 3 a couple of times. HAT ftw
Your choice of sub is fine! In an SQ system, more emphasis/planning is placed on the frontstage as opposed to the sub.
I saw you mentioned getting 2 pairs of components, therefore you are planning rearfill. Usually, a good SQ car has no rearfill at all or very little which is almost not noticeable.
I suggest you get a descent 5 channel amp, one pair of comps and the sub to start with. If your budget allows, the 80prs will be your choice..

Or should I just stick with my original plan to use Zapco. Other suggestions are highly appreciated

ScHoolboySoloQ dont spend extravagantly on high end brands (unless your mammy paying) if you are now getting into it. Buy something average but yet still reputable. Get a feel for things.
Remember 90% of the sound will come from your midrange/frontstage speakers so put more emphasis there than sub.

On the flip side, trinidadians dotish doh. They only focus on EXTREME highs, midrange, and extreme lows.
This is the average daily system here:
Putting a 2.2uF condensor on a 4 ohm tweeter gives you a useable freq range from 10khz above
Most people use midrange speakers from 600Hz to 3Khz
and bass is just 60Hz and below
So to summarize, Nobody have high mids, nobody have midbass and everybody dotish except the people in this thread.
i cyar begin to fathom dat 1 or u really messing with us , even 10yrs ago when i used to do gallery in carshows only for kicks my rcf 10s back then were crossed at 90hz & bass still played 30-80Most people use midrange speakers from 600Hz to 3Khz
