[QUOTE="sjv13, post: 7927634, member: 632245"] This In all honesty, unless you do this you will never really get a feel for what the different frequencies sound like. Start with all settings at 0 or "flat." Then go one by one for each frequency. Have the volume at a decent level, but not too loud when you do this. That way you can go allll the way to plus 12dB or whatever the highest is, and then alllllll the way down. Do that for each frequency to get a feel for what sound each produces. Then set them where you like it. Generally, the highest frequency needs to be below 0, just because its too bright and ear-splitting otherwise.

If you turn up the frequencies around 400Hz up too much, then the music starts to sound muddy. If you have a subwoofer, then I would suggest that you don't use the EQ for frequencies below 80Hz. Instead, you should use the subwoofer gain setting on th amp, or other subwoofer-specific setting in the audio menus of the head unit. [/QUOTE]
