i asked a jl rep to properly explain that to me and i've taken electronics courses in high school voc and college and nothing he said made any sense to me in other words get a dictionary and read the manuel i've played with them and i havent heard any drastic changes in sound quality but if u are going to tune your amp using an osciliscope then u can see a frequency change

the best part of a job is seeing the bumper get smaller over the horizon

The "Q" rating in a parametric equalizer is the rate of change of the envelope. Basically a higher Q means a "faster" rate of change, creating a narrower adjustment band on either side of the EQ center frequency setting.
