you need to get a hold of a couple of very sensitive, audiophile grade sound quality measuring devices. I suppose you could call them SQ meters, although most people know them by their OEM name, ears. Pricey though, if you have to purchase them new...

Matt VIP is right it all comes down to what sounds good to you, Rock up to a MEA SQ event and have a look. Ask the guys if you can have a listen to there cars. They are good to get along with and they dont bite.

Go listen look and learn for your self from some great guys and girls

this is the best advice i can give as it helped me to get a grip of SQ
Thank god
A db car can look like crap
And still surpise everyone
Poor corona it is still waiting
For the paint i promised it last year!!!
