my opinion on parametric VS 1/3 octave... parametric is fine for a studio or home theater, I mean your finetunning the curve, by pushing up or down at specific spots, & varying the rolloff or slope of your tuning (Q)... this is fine when your dealing with a reference system & reference drivers in a relatively controlled environment...., or at least an environment that is not wreaking havoc on the response...
a car is a whole different animal.... even if your reference system & your reference drivers were spot on, the vehicle itself will show so many anomolies & add & alter so much compared to the actual response, that in my opinion, a parametric just won't be adiquate to really fine tune, unless your talking many bands...
there are almost always instances in a vehicle that it will be necissary to boost a freq while cutting an adjacent freq... this is not what parametrics do best..., yes a parametric can help, & yes, I'm sure that a parametric can tune a vehicle well, but I think 1/3 ovtave tunning is going to be superior in a vehicle...
a car & a studio/home are 2 totally different environments....
