^ Would that depend more or less on the judge that's critiquing the system? Whether or not he likes a little Fletcher-Munson action happening or not, that is.

And Chaxton, it "shouldn't" matter what judge listenes to your system, they should all be listening for the same things. Yes there will be some differences between judge to judge, but it shouldn't be that much.

^^^no, i'm just oldschool when it comes to SQ. we all used to compete with the RTA, and your right sometimes it isn't the sound i might be looking for to suit my tastes. however a good judge should be able to determine that there are no aprecciable diff between frequencies.

Hello,
Don't listen to people who try and tell you, you have to spend alot of money. You can buy a pair of seps for $200.00, a 4 ch amp for $500.00, CD player for $250.00 and a 12 inch sub for $149.99. And you can compete with the best of them. With a good install, I mean clean and well mounted, you can do wonders. There's guy a with 4 stock speakers, a stock cd player with a 12. He has one of the highest sound quality scores out there. Only listen to the guys who have bin there done that. Listen only to true competitors, not a geek with an opinion, who doesn't compete and hides behind a computer...

Well i did it. I have enter the point of no return. I picked up a pair of Crossfire CFQ 31M Rack mount 1/3 octave eq's. Nice price too i paid 100USD shipped for the two. Next on the list is a good set of comps. What does everyone use and what is pretty good? I have about 100W RMS to feed them. Any suggestions?

Anyway, D-50Truck, good job with the eq purchase. Thats a decent price too!!
As far as the comps, first question is what do you have immediatly available that you can listen to. Do alot of listening befre you purchase. Make the choice on what you hear and not on what someone else reccomends. But if your looking for proven performers this is a list I have heard that includes but not limited to: Focal, Dynaudio, Image Dynamics, MB Quart, Kicker. After them all I stuck with the Focals. For me, they are amazing.
