What the hell is Q factor. i got it on my mono block and in my HU's Eq.. i really don't know what it is. anyone know?
.707 is like the maximally flat response...but in-car it could be totally different. Not sure what it does on the head unit...does it say like shallow or steep?? or wide or narrow??
na, it goes from 1.00 - 1.25 - 1.50. - 2.00 on the head unit. and the amp is http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps_lineart.php?amp_id=252
I'm not sure...my friend had a Diamond amp that had that crap....we kept turning it back and forth and the sound never changed....I dunno what it is for lol
The Q factor on the amp is to adjust the bandwith of the boosted frequency. say you choose some boost at 35 Hz...you can make that a narrow bump in output at 35Hz with the Q knob low or have have smoother broader boost around 35 Hz by turning the Q knob up there is my knowledgeablity for you..yah f'in happy now??? haha jk
Q-Factor is an abstract quality of how something sounds, enough bull. A q-factor of around 1.00 is nornal. But most of us, including me, like our mids to be a little more pronounced. Setting your Q-Factor around 2.00 will make our mids more pronounced. This happens because of how much wider the curve around the center frequency becomes as we increase the Q-Factor. Q-Factor is useful in the midrange frequencies, but it make bass frequencies sound nasty. Q-Factors around 1.00 and 1.25 are normal, but 2.00 sounds very rapp. Anyway check out the picture
But pictures are so much easier to understand. Most of us are visual learners, including myself. Your explination, while accurate, would be confusing for me. But I have to admire anyone willing to do a little research. Keep up the good work
Well I just tried to explain it the best I could...but I didn't try to find a picture...but the picture does really help
Its really amazing how we as the human species rely on one particular sense to derive info. The eyes have it for the most part....but a little LISTENING can reveal ALOT.........
A picture is worth 1000 words Alternatively: The Q factor is when Bond pulls out an innocous looking object that turns out to secretly be sometype of weapon or broad tracker. "Don't touch that! That's my lunch!"
