I was making a funny, I really dont have an ego over this stuff. Car audio is a hobby and as such it is there to entertain and provide enjoyment. I enjoy all my conversations on here (except for those with that prick Dukk)
I was just shoving my 2 cents in on the deadening (non) issue... probably unneeded but I sometimes wonder what people are really asking.
For the record I think damping is a wonderful tool and is essential for good sound in many/ most SQ vehicles and it has little to no bad affects on SQ no matter how much you use. Sound treatments in general are skimped on by manufacturers so an upgraded sound system results in a NEED for upgraded sound treatment, wire, power delivery, better batteries etc. Every SQ and SPL competitor is always wondering "what is the next step to improving my score?" and every discussion like this is making someone somewhere go "ah-ha!". So hopefully they will learn the terms transmission loss, damping, attenuation, absorption, diffraction, and reflection when it comes to how they deal with their cars acoustics.
And man am I ready for a beer...
