I remember hearing some awsome systems that had Earthquake speakers, it was in it's day one of the best when used correctly. If I still had some of thier subs in good condition I'd be happy to use them although there is plenty of other brands around these days that would rate just as highly.
SPL and SQ ?, someone told me once the difference was like comparing drag racing to circuit racing, hence the term 'db drag racing'. (db meaning decibels, a measure of loudnes or SPL, sound pressure level). It's kind of sad to see that there are no SQ (sound quality) comps these days. I have competed in a few, many years ago, and I thought it was a lot of fun. Kind of like studying for an exam and then giving your paper to the teacher to be graded. It involved perfect speaker placement, getting your amp levels correct and matching your speakers to your amps, setting up your head unit. Not to mention the expertise needed to build the system. Lots of guys took great pride in getting great sound from the cheapest components by very careful and exact installation.
It's really a pity and I'll accept any flaming, but I don't think many of you guys here have actually ever heard a good sounding system, not one that just goes loud, but one that can actually play music the way it was meant to sound.
