Alright, so I'd like to be able to look at the Q's of a sub and get an automatic understanding of how the sub performs. I understand the rest of the T/S parameters but the Q's still dont sink in. I've been getting better at it but I know I still have some misconceptions about them and reading definitions does not help. Can someone put them in other terms or elaborate on them more?
What I understand them to be:
Qts: Total Q, overall. But still have no clue what it is actually representing.
Qes: Electrical structure: Performance of the coil, motor, etc but still have no clue what its representing. How is this defferent from BL?
Qms: Mechanical Q: How stiff the spider is, surround and cone also have an effect. But what is it actually saying?
So what does it mean if the Q's are higher or lower? What I'm thinking is like for Qms, the higher the number the stiffer things are? I noticed on more SQ oriented subs the Qms is generally around 4, so does that mean it's looser? Can someone help out?
