SQL, drives me friggin nuts. Its a stupid term that is used by kids who love to pound their brains out but dont have a system they feel is good enough to compete with. So when their buddies go "What'd you hit with that" and they reply "Oh I dont compete, its a SQL car" or "its a SQL sub". Bulls**T. I hate the acronym, it has no basis. If you have a sq car, than so be it, if you have a SPL car then so be it, if you dont have either than you have a daily driver that you built for you, so be happy about it. But when I see that term used on "other" boards and these guys talking about how their car is gonna hit 150 dbs and be clear as a bell at the same time, just wizes me off. Ok, Im done now.

if we ignore it instead of correcting those who use it, SQL will not only be a cumputer term, but become a new category for competing. we must rise up against them and overthrow the rebels! lol

By SQL I mean a box that hits a good score but can still sound pretty good.

This is what I was told by a kid on another forum. Im thinking a friend told him what SQL meant to him and now he uses it too. What is wrong with kids these days!?!? lol

I must admit, I am guilty of such treason, I hope I will not be publicly flogged too much over it.
I have a friend who wants a "clear, extremely deep bass"
I figured I would give him a SoloX10/X12 setup with 2500W RMS. I am taking my time preparing everything to get the best quality, high dB.
But, while explaining it to him, I told him about SQL and SPL.
So, there it is, I came clean.I hate this term, SQL -- posted image.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

Whenever someone tells you that, ask them to explain it to you. After they get done say it doesn't make any sense ask them to explain it to you again. Repeat. Eventually they will either stop using the term or stop talking to you. Either way it is done with.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
