[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 545673, member: 555320"] You should work on your install before worrying about an EQ. Work on proper deadening and killing resonances, proper speaker aiming/placement, killing reflections, new crossover points (if needed), proper balancing and level matching between mid/tweeter/sub, etc etc. EQ should be the very, very, very last thing you do and only used after everything else is [I]properly[/I] done. And remember, EQ's should be used mainly to lower peaks and not raise valleys in the frequency response. EQ is not a band-aid, but a "final touch" if you will. And honestly, unless you are trying to get a high score for RTA points in a sound quality competition, you shouldn't worry about "flat response"....worry about setting it up so it sounds good to your ear. Majority of people wouldn't actually like the sound of a "flat response curve", nor is it necessary for a non-competition daily driver. [/QUOTE]
