I love this as a hobby, and honestly don't think there will ever be a time where I sit and listen and say "Yep, there it is, its perfect," and be done. The knowledge-ceiling on car audio is 200 stories high and I'm still cruising in the first 10 floors, which kind of makes this more fun, knowing that I'm not going to run out of skills and concepts to learn, probably ever.
I think what I really need to do is go to a local IASCA meet or just find time to get up to 5 Star Car Audio as their shop is ~20 minutes away and get the oppourtunity to hear a real, professionally tuned SQ car. Gotta hear what's possible with the best installs and tuning, give me something real to work towards. As of right now I've never heard any other car that has a DSP, much less actual tuning time.
When tuning with band-limited PN, is it done with speaker pairs, or whole sides playing? The Unity 8s are handling the lion's share of the spectrum, just curious if people do it with highs then mids then rears or side vs side
