[QUOTE="Fast1one, post: 4283073, member: 567387"] T/A is totally overrated...it can be effective when used in small amounts but people use it as if its Gods gift to car audio... A simple experiment would be to use a home audio setting. Move one speaker a few feet closer to you then use the balance to attenuate the one closest to you... You should still get pretty solid imaging at the listening position once you get it dialed in correctly... Its not a perfect experiment, since most rooms are not perfectly symmetrical, same goes for cars. To REALLY do it effectively is to use an RTA and a 1/3 octave EQ PER SIDE...then you can gain match right down to the frequency to get flat response. Then EQ to taste... The phase issue is only valid when: A: The speakers share an enclosure and B: When the speakers are the EXACT same distance and angle from your ear... The latter simply isn't possible in a car, unless you drive in the center [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
