[QUOTE="phish368, post: 2549687, member: 570654"] So I thought more about this and i decided to try something out. Now when i got my system installed I had brought it to a local car intsaller. So i was thinking, in a perfect environment all lengths of cable should equal each other (as in, all the RCA s should be the same length and all the speaker cables from amps should be the same length) Now I know the RCA's are the same length because I've re-ran them when I installed the 701 myself but do I know for sure that the speaker cables are all equal lengths: No. So I decided that instead of adjusting the TCR for my left fronts (which would normally be the case since you sit closer to the left speakers), i decided to adjust the right front mid. What a world of difference. Not only do I have all my levels on the 9861 and 701 set to 0db, but adjusting the front right mid TCR to .20ms delay made my entire sound stage in the front even. So needless to say I'm pretty happy with my results. The only thing I could thik of is that the front left speakers were on a longer speaker cable than the right because the speaker cables are ran down the right side of my car. Either way, I'm much more pleased. Moral of this long story: Go against the grain and try something that you would think would work or help. [/QUOTE]
