Default polk 6x9

Well, I do concede that the theory of :what seems :"logical" is a poor one
to use in proving my case. So you got me there....

AND, as I stated in my earlier post I DO NOT have first hand knowledge of
what an oval speaker would sound like in the home. So again, you got me
there.

I guess a lot of what I say comes from over 10 years of being on RAC, going
to competions, and subscribing to mags line AS&S, CSR, and CA&E. And, of
course, I have read what others have said about this so I tend to believe
THERE IS "something up"with this issue having heard foks with much more
education and first-hand knowledge than myself.

Perhaps I should not have chimed in as A) I have no personall experience
(though I have used quality aftermarket 6X9's for rear-fill) with ovals
OTHER than in the car where poor accoustics, wind, road, and the engine
produce SO much noise, evaluating SQ of a 6X9 in a car becomes nearly
impossible. B) I am no engineer and therefore I should refrain from talking
about things I have only a cursory knowledge of ( I mean, I DO know a little
like Ohm's law and such). And I REALLY try not to come off as an EE, or
know-it-all. It's just that I DO have a lot of installation experience AND
I worked at Phoenix Gold in their marketinng department (I have an MBA).

Does this make me an expert? No. But I have been into car audio for close
to 20 years now and I feel I have much to offer a newb or someone with a
problem.

But on this subject, since I have NEVER HEARD any artificats coming from a
6X9, I probably should have kept my mouth shut as I was only parroting what
others had said in the past (but again, I lack personnal experience).

Perhaps Matt can chime in with a better working definition of what we are
talking about.
