[QUOTE="zako, post: 7982378, member: 629735"] In my case, there is no rear stage, just front running active with Pioneer DEH-80PRS. I let the head unit run its auto tune. It's time alignment settings for the front speakers are pretty close to what I got by tuning by ear. However, it adjusted the relative gains of all individual tweeters and woofers, and the EQ setup is really wonderful in the mid-range and treble region. The sound is very good and imaging is more consistent (to get imaging right, it's important to make sure the FR from left and right side is the same at frequencies above 1-2KHz, in addition to getting time alignment right). The head unit even picked a correct high pass setting for my HAT Imagine tweeters (it's recommended they use HP of 5KHz or higher, with sharp slope, the head unit chose 6.3KHz). I can only imagine/dream about what could possible be achieved with a 32-band equalizer, such as on JBL-MS8. The head unit didn't do everything right. While the subwoofer "sounds" to my ear relatively flat and smooth, the subwoofer level is down 6-7dB from the baseline I prefer (fixed), and it chose the high pass on my woofers at 125Hz (fixed, moved down to 80Hz). The head unit did get the time alignment and phase for the subwoofer channel right. Being somewhat out of phase makes a little difference, but can be heard on the right track. [/QUOTE]
