Could someone define SQ and SPL for me please? and which is better?

SQ is sound quality
SPL is sound pressure level (sheer volume, and nothing more)

Neither is better, it's just a preference on what you want your setup to do. Me, I'd be happy with a single (primarily SQ oriented) 10 or maybe 12. Some people find the bottom 60-70Hz of the ~18,000Hz range we can hear to be most important, and feel the need for 6 subs in one car. Just a preference, if you ask my SQ is more logical, in that if I'm going to put all the time into building kick panels, boxes, amp racks, etc, I want the entire spectrum to sound great, not be left with unamped mids and 4000 watts of low bass. But then that's just me.
