I dont even own a system anymore. I had a small system in my Integra, spent about a grand, and was hitting 142's on Type R's. I had an RE XXX, but it couldnt afford the amp that I wanted. Steve Meade IS a joke. I used to talk to him via Facebook quite often, until he posted his hoe in a bulldog stance and I called it gross and told him to drop the front a few more inches. He got all defensive and tried telling me that air ride > coils. Then he tried to tell me that race cars / drag cars use air ride. So I laughed and removed him. Sanford Sound is a joke, I despise that place. Only reason I'd even step foot in the door is if I wanted Orion parts and thats it. So you dont own a term lab but your shop does? I thought you ran your "shop" out of your house. Wouldnt that mean you owned a term lab? I'm getting defensive because I know I'm right. I've worked with the most experienced audiophiles in Maine period. My old boss has been running his shop here in Maine for over 35 years and has judged the IASCA finals more than once, even ones that werent anywhere near the United States. Just read what you're typing. If you think that by compressing a music file, that you arent losing frequencies on both ends, then your logic is highly flawed.
and I'm confused... Avoid you say you had a XXX 15" you do realize those are one of the better SQ subwoofers on the market? and probably even off half of rated would get twice as loud as those R's? why the hell would you sell it and downgrade I have trouble believing this also did you have the 05 version or the new version? the 05 was their last real good version. Also how the hell did you spend $1000 on 2 R's and some door speakers that's a major rip man.
and about the mp3's cutting low lows you do realize that having a shitty amplifier like the aP1500.1D effects your low low range? and you do realize with an amp that doesnt do rated like the AP and requires 14.4v just to get near with all that dirty signal you're getting fucked more on freq range and loudness than you would be using WAV or MP3's? Jus sayin. So you tell me to get rid of my IPOD I tell your to get rid of that POS AP1500, you tell me to get rid of my Sony XPLOD and Pioneers I tell you to get rid of that Crunch 4 channel and JL's since your have an "SQ" build that equipment would be unacceptable by any SQ standards and since I'm SPL who cares about my mids right? so if anything I'm doing things right you're not... Also again SQ build with a Crunch amplifier and Audiopipe and Type R's? come on... did your Headunit even have 4v preouts/lpf/hpf/sla and expander?
I'm not trying to keep a fight going man but you can't state such claims and talk shit when you yourself have much to learn about product. I'm just saying I'll stick with my IPOD and MP3's and Sony as it's great for SPL with a little SQ thus far, you on the other hand need to rethink your next build if you want true SQ and don't forget to run WAV files on everything and convert your 1,000's of songs to WAV' and need 4 external HDD's to fit them all because you know its worth it.
