so i started talking to quality_audio and he pointed me to two kinds of speakers idq and arc audio.. so i started looking at them.. and i know pretty much nothing about audio.. i know alittle about the terms but i honestly am not sure if one is better than the other besides their nice adds sameing so lol
so i thought i would come to you guys.
we, quality sound and i decided a pair of 12's would be nice.
what im wanting is clearity above all else.. im really not into the shaking the house of the foundation or driving other drivers crazy and/or busting my ear drums. what im wanting is an extra clear sound. but i honestly dont know what im doing.. besides wanting..
some questions asked:
What exactly are you looking for? im looking for a system or to build a system that is very clear.. that isnt big and bulky.. i want it to look very simple if not proform simply.
How loud will you play it? i have stated before that i dont want it to be encredibly loud but! it i arrive at a get to gether i want to be able to put something out
What do you listen to? i listen to a bit of everything.. yes rock and rock.. r and b, techno, opera, classical, reggie, you name it i probably listen to it..
How much space can you afford to give up? once again nothing too big..
What kind of car? shooting for a 2000 passat gls
Impedance : 1 or 4 ohm
Resonant frequency : 21Hz
Sensitivity : 89 db
RMS power handling : 350 watts
Electrical "Q" : .298
Mechanical "Q" : 4.29
Total "Q" : .278
Equivalent volume: 4.76
One way linear: 16 mm
Mounting depth : 6"
Optimum sealed enclosure : .90 cuft
Ported enclosure : 1.30 cuft
this is specs of one of the speakers quality_audio told me about.. honestly i know some of the terms but as for if this is a good speaker i have no idea besides that i hear he is really good at this stuff.. but if you could break down what this is and tell me if.. well example: Resonant frequency : 21Hz, woud it be better if the number was bigger? smaller? shrug.. Impedance : 1 or 4 ohm; is more ohms better? or less?
please remember.. this is a strive for clearity.. not parting my hair by using sound waves..
i step by step what does this do.. and what is the execellent for what im shooting for would be very nice..
another thing too if you have some opinions about what i should look for in a speaker that would be nice to put down.. please tell me what it does verses the other.. meaning if you have an opinion please state why you think so vs because i think so.. (kinda duh.. but something tells me someone will do it..)
some ideas for amps would be nice as well.. i would like to keep the car all one kind of system but.. if proformance is needed then i would have to switch.. right now its thoughts.. i am patient and i can save up for it as i need it..
and before i put a system in i will probably go after a new hu.. kinda duh once again but shrugs.. what should i look for in a head unit? any brands you feel is better than others? shrug i know people are brand loyal some what but i want to know why one is "better" than the other.. why is the one you feel is good better than another?
thanks for any help!
