Simple poll here, do you prefer to have your sounds turned up till your insides wobble or do you prefer pure sound quality in your car audio system?

 

[ashgen2]

heavy bassline is my kinda silence

 

[trismotteram]

Sound quality all the way! :mrgreen:

 

[LiDL]

i'm actually suprised at the results so far.

 

[maxdaccent]

i like both but that isnt an option so quality over bass everytime for me

 

[trismotteram]

i'm actually suprised at the results so far.

I think it's because the question suggests either extreme...

E.g. massive bass with little quality, or crisp quality with little bass. Where a lot of people like a bit of bass to back the beats of their faveourite songs, they often don't want to compromise on quality.
If it were more like "What would you prefer: Powerful bass with stock speakers for sound qualty, or crisper quality speakers with no extra bass?" then maybe the results would be different

 

[LiDL]

it's more a case of if you were to upgrade your system.. what would you be aiming for?

 

[trismotteram]

In that case then isn't the answer usually going to be both? Or at least be an option, maybe "Compromise" lol.
My aim is going to be better quality with a little extra bass, some better 6x9's in the back but no sub's

 

[Jrp210]

Have to agree with tris. Im after a nice crisp quality sound but also want some nice bass flying around too.

 

[geordie_chris]

I think i've got a decent compromise between Bass & Quality...

I've got 2 JL Audio subs and they're in a sealed box, so the bass is nice and tight.

But... they are being powered by an amp running at up to 1000 RMS, so they do give off a hell of a lot of bass.

 

[mrkieran23]

Id have to say it would be a mix between the both,.so i am unable to vote

I like to have thumping bass there if i need it but also like that bass to be backed up by decent sound quality

 

[roger401]

I agree with Tris as well. Much rather hear the music rather than have my insides sucked out!
That being said, a good bass helps.....................

 

[SPeedY_B]

Definitely quality, many people don't seem to realise that music can be enjoyable even at lower volumes these days.

I love a heavy bass line, if I can't feel my seat vibrating its just not enough bass!! that been said if its got so loud that I can't hear the vocals etc, that kinda ruins the song for me.

 

[scout]

Quality, why would anyone want to make their eyeballs vibrate, thats got to be wrong :shock:

 

[mrkieran23]

Guess its a personal preference... sometimes i do like alot of bass, sometimes i do like less bass. i think a mixture between the two is always good.

People say to me " why do u need bass in your car" my reply is, if you like your music, and went to a concert, would you be very disappointed if there was no bass kicking through out the room. not that im suggesting bass to blow off your windows. There is a level of bass that is just stupid for driving, but i think that consists of 4 or more subs which usually suggest show car.

Although i would not mind having that many.. and could turn it up and down when ever i pleased.

 

[festa888]

i voted bass but you gotta have both really at last test mine was 141.6 db but new subs now so should be more

 

[LiDL]

ever thought of competing?

 

[festa888]

not really the boxes and amps just plonked in the boot need to sort a proper install really so looks nice

plus not sure where u could compete around here
