it's apples and oranges.
I like oranges and appreciate them for their tangy citrusy goodness, I just happen to prefer apples is all.

if SPL were easy, the top folks wouldn't consistently be at the top, it would be a crap shoot on any given day.

I think that actually more time and effort goes into building a top SPL system than an SQ one....

so I'd like to be excluded from the above generalization tyvm

its just personal integrity man.. i dont want my car to look like ... but to each their own
i bet i could make my car louder than yours as well, with an even lower quality equipment and i can also bet that it will sound 100x better than your car and my install will/can/is going to look like a white stallion compared to what you can do.

Depends on what you mean by "Be there for me" .... it's kind of a far drive for me to help with a build!
