[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8655646, member: 675210"] So after doing all that... getting the speakers all tight and what not, I put the 9v battery in my polarity checker. Left rear door (correct polarity), Right rear door (correct polarity), Right front tweeter (correct polarity), Right front mid (OUT OF PHASE!!!), Left front tweeter (OUT OF PHASE!!!), Left front mid (correct polarity). Do you have any idea how different speakers sound when ALL the speakers are the same polarity???? I will tell you. Night and day different. More than when I fixed the EQ. More than when I mounted them tighter. Of course I was mad and excited that I found a problem then fixed it. So I grabbed my HD speaker set-up disc and checked the phasing, depth of field with bells @ 6 feet and 18 feet (left, right and center for both distances) in a room with 2 seconds of natural reverb and several types of music and instruments on the disc. I went back in my Kenwood HU and turned my Digital Time Alignment back on, set it to the drivers seat and FINALLY it sounds right. Vocals are right in front of me just on the other side of the glass when I close my eyes. This is the first time I have heard correct time alignment... granted it's a really low level time alignment. I can't wait to see what my 3Sixty.3 does. [/QUOTE]
