[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8805609, member: 675210"] The MIC will measure the sound your speakers are putting out with no EQ's, Bass boost, loudness or time alignment. All sound controls should be flat with NO enhancements and all balance and faders centered. Pink noise is what you will use for the sound that the MIC will measure as it is playing all the frequencies at near the same output. Once you have recorded this you will have a graph of what your cars speakers sound looks like. You will see dips and peaks in the graph. This will show you what frequencies will need to be adjusted. You are going to adjust them up or down to remove the dips and peaks. Your goal is to make the graph more smooth with only minor dips and peaks. From there you will adjust the EQ's further in the car listening to music. Your ears should be able to pick out tweeters that are too bright or harsh or not bright enough or bass that may need to be boosted or cut and so on. You can set your time alignments as well and see if more EQ is needed or volume adjustments of individual speakers. Speaker phase can be used to compensate for on/off axis speakers if needed. On axis (speakers pointed at you) Off axis (Speakers not pointed at you. i.e. lower door speakers facing your legs) [/QUOTE]
