Hello, first thread, lets get to it
Here's two things I'm comparing and have a question about. I have not had a lot of listening experience, or much knowledge about sound reproduction or anything, so I'm hoping to get some answers from someone who does.
For the car stereo:
6.5" Focal Polyglass Components
Kicker KX800.4
One Image Dynamics 12" iDQ 4ohm DVC
Rockford Fosgate 301M (150W Mono)
Alpine DVA-9861 Deck
---------- Against ------------
Monster Turbine Gold Earbuds, through some old CD player...

So I have had the car setup for about a year now, and have been very happy with it. But about a week ago I bought the Turbines.
After letting them free up and listening to them, I noticed something in the vocals that I have not heard before. The lower frequencies of the voices are pronounced and much more audible. I guess the best word I can think to describe it, is a "throaty" sound, haha. It's not overpowering or anything, but listening back and forth between the Focals, the Turbines, and my old Monster Jamz, It sounds like that is the way the voice is suppose to be reproduced. And when I go back to the Focals, which I would imagine to be pretty accurate, It sounds like it is missing something. Sort of like they chopped the deep/warm tones out of the voices.
I understand that most door speakers aren't designed to play lower frequencies, and that could be the problem, that they just won't go low enough (turning off the high pass filter didn't change anything I might add). And if that's the case, how are you able to get those notes? Could you add another speaker that fills the gap between the components and the subwoofer?
I wouldn't think it would be caused by an imbalance in the frequency sensitivity, because I can hear it in men and womens' voice alike. So it could be another form of sound reproduction I haven't learned about yet. Thanks for any information, feel free to ask a question if I didn't make sense about anything.
