^ I agree. Preaching the truth that an amazing sounding system does not absolutely require an EQ has been an arduous task for me.

Lets not even get on the subject of Time Alignment garbage. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

I would say that any system that uses multiple sets of speakers/amps definatly needs an EQ to obtain 'optimal' response.

On the other hand I would agree that proper speaker placement & settings of gains and crossovers can obtain reasonably flat response.

Flat response when judged by a person is pretty relative anyway....

Optimal response would be set flat with a mic while ignoring reverb.

In most cases, all one needs is a pair of components in the front, a deck, one or two subs and a couple of amps and a brain.

Best sounding car to date I have ever heard was Chad Klodners Mustang. He ran a Dynaudio D28 Tweeter with at Dynaudio 15W75 Mid and a pair of proaudio 15's AP on the rear deck. He had a RF 200 amp per speaker, Rane 3 way XO and a Orban 4 band parametric EQ. 3 of the bands were used below 400 to fix car midbass problems and the 4th was used around 12K................................

He build the car to sound good........................not build the car then processed it to sound good....................
