Something like 8 sets of DLS 6.5"s/5.25"s etc and 3 15" audiobahns in the back of an 04 Escalade. Not a lot of bass, SQ was spot on. Smaller speakers > subs.

 

^^why? Sounds great means sounds great...it could have 1 speaker..if it sounds great... It sounds great!

 

Of the current cars competing, I think Matt Roberts truck needs to be mentioned. Great tonally and well focused imaging.

I'm looking forward to hearing all the best cars next weekend at finals. I won't be in it this time around, but that will just give me more listening time.

 

Was it the sub that had the feedback loop built into the sub that connected back into the input structure of the amp? My Gosh, if it is the same system, it sure must be tired by now. I heard it when Audioconcepts had it and fully agree with you on how it sounded....brutal! When they bought it, they first brought it down to the Plaza of Nations event where I was parked beside it...I think they should have bought it and left the settings alone, but some guy up north thought he had a better idea for tuning it....turned out to be a murder of a great sounding system.

 

^ Any pics of this Baretta? Would love to see it, whoever owned it.

Best I've heard that I can think of is Joe Yau's 91 T-bird SC. Heard it in 2005 at a local show and it was sure sweet. Awesome soundstage, excellent center and tonality that sounded so effortless and open. It was a real treat to listen to. No EQ in that car at all. No processors either. He does have a TEF-20 machine though for sound analysis but that machine is only a listening tool. It does no processing of the sound. It's my goal to capture that kind of sound in my new system.

 

for me was mid 90's my buddys sisters' BF had a ford escort pioneer head and 2 - 12 inch crunch ported not sure what amps or speaks but it was awesome heard it from blocks away .... it got me into the scene
