The key is balance. As you stated I don't know why a pro would go down this path - especially spending extra for stuff that's priced at a premium for ease of use for novices. Morel speakers and underseats, a pair of amps the guy is familiar with and can easily tune, and $1500 for an in trunk setup and done. Why would a pro pay more for product when they could get better gear, easily make a mounting ring and wire things up, and spend less $ for superior results? I will say in home versus in car are two totally different universes. Yes the theory is the same but in practice the high end home guys don't want to fuck with car stuff.

I agree with the posts responding that I may as well get a sufficient system to accompany that much power. I have used ample dynamat as well as well as found my cars baseline using a omnidirectional mic, pink noise, etc. I'll be upgrading to the Audison product line and will be relieved to have external processing control. Thanks for your input.

In another life I was a music critic. When judging a recording I tried to listen to it in three different places -- home, headphones, car -- for several reasons, among them frequency variation and sound staging. One of the tests of a well mastered recording is there being little discernible difference between the three listening platforms IF they're all tuned similarly (in my case, flat across the spectrum) and not distorting -- from either too much power (by far the more common scenario) or too little power (less common but possible, especially in the setup you're planning). I'm just supplying brevity. Just like in a car engine, the solution to be better (read: be quicker) is not always to 'add more power'. In fact, it's frequently not the solution, even when it seems like power makes sense.

I was browsing the forum today and found your post. I know it's a bit old, but I would like to talk to you about the tune and your experience with our amplifier. I will send you a PM. I couldn't find any communication with you in our ticketing system, because I do not have your email address, so all I know is what I could read in this thread. I apologize for not meeting your expectations. Generally, when we ship our amplifiers, we load a vehicle specific tune, which, in our opinion, should make your car audio system sound better than the stock system. I say "in our opinion", because what you can hear is very subjective. If the car has upgraded speakers, we might not have a proper tune for each and every speaker setup. There have also been a few cases when the amp did not have any tune when installed and sounded worse than the factory amp, but these could be a human error on our end or the tune could have been wiped when installing and setting up the amp. Nevertheless, our amp can make any BMW HiFi system sound much better, but it has to be tuned to the taste of the listener. I will not make any comments on what you said bavsound had told you regarding the compatibility of their speakers with our amp. I just hope it was some sort of misunderstanding. I will also refrain myself from commenting opinions of other people, who seem to know "best". |
