" Speakers used for mids and highs commonly produce between 1% an 5% THD and for subwoofers the numbers can easily reach 10%. This doesn't even take into account all of the resonances of all of the plastic and metal panels in the vehicle. "
Richard Clark has said that an amp driven to 6 DB of clipping is bordering on the audible range.... what happens when you add the 6 DB of amp clipping, 1 % amp THD and 10 % subwoofer THD.... maybe you wouldn't have raised the BS flag if i would have said a number higher than 10%, but as the frequency decreases distortion is less audible and the 10% that i previously stated is conservative, likely it will be much higher before you hear distortion from your sub.

I don't really care what you say, I trust my ears before anything else. Go listen to a high-end home audio setup with low THD numbers and then go listen to something with higher THD numbers. You should be able to tell the difference easily. Damn 10% THD on a subwoofer, I would not even recommend buying any sort of speaker with that high of a THD.Originally posted by rthompson

I have listened to countless high end home stereos over the years. Tube amplifiers consistantly measure with higher THD numbers yet always sound better than their lower THD solid state counterparts.Originally posted by Cerwin Vega Fan
