[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8630027, member: 650438"] None of that matters if the stock head unit's EQ curve along with agressive high pass filters arent addressed. from my post # 15 on this thread.... Stock head units have built in EQ curves is that is inherent and unchangeable along with aggressive built in high pass filters. Manufacturers do that to make up for the garbage speakers they use to make them sound better than they should be. What that means is if you just swap the speakers out, your brand spanking new components are subjected to that garbage EQ tune and boosts Meaning all sound quality is out the window. You literally cant EQ away all of these things especially with a basic graphical EQ with no Q factor nor means to change the EQ points. All you are doing with an LOC is boosting that already sh*t garbage signal instead of a flat clean signal. this is an example [IMG]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0266/7123/files/Untitled-1_9f1aee5d-451e-4346-92f9-b6dc5d39e741_grande.jpg?v=1494520960[/IMG] Also not running active means you are playing lottery with your component set.
