I think that is the limit....why? I can't imagine any speakers being that far away from the closet speaker to you ear.

I have my left set at 0.0 and the right set at 0.83 and it sounds perfectly like it's coming from the middle of my dash (granted I have a truck and you have a car).

I actually don't even use the "DTA" adjustment of the HU....I use the "position" adjustment instead as it works for individual speakers instead of both at the same time.

Doesn't your 889 have the same thing?

Yeah it has the position adjustment and I have it on left front I think,but I want something new that has usb or I would go for the 800prs,but I was just wondering about the 5 ch T/A,maybe I'm understanding t/a wrong.

The X991 has the following "distance" settings on both DTA & POSITION:

0.00, 0.17, 0.33, 0.50, 0.67, 0.83, 1.00, 1.17, 1.33, 1.50, 1.67, 1.83, 2.00, 2.17, 2.33, 2.50, 2.67, 2.83, 3.00, 3.17, 3.33

On the DTA setting you can adjust FRONT, REAR and SUB (the front & rear do both left & right the same amount at the same time...the sub has only 1 channel and adjusts it away from you).

On the POSITION setting you can adjust FRONT, REAR & SUB (all 3 of these have independent adjustments for EACH side...unlike the DTA setting which adjusts both sides at the same time).

The way I have mine set (I'm always playing with it so it varies a little from time to time) is that I use the DTA feature to set the distance from my CLOSEST speaker to my head (say 0.67 feet)...this will make BOTH left & right at 0.67...I then go to the POSITION setting and I leave the left front @ 0.00 and set the right front and the difference between the 0.67 I used in DTA with what distance it really is (say 1.83 feet)...I then do the same type of thing for the subs.

There are some days where it doesn't sound like the front stage is perfectly balanced so I play with the numbers a little to get it to sound balanced...the subs I rarely ever change because it doesn't seem to matter that much.

Hope this helps a little...if not maybe we can meet somewhere and I can show you in person what it does (since we don't live too far apart).

Nice explanation,I purchased one last night for 377.00 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

I'm so cheap,I thought I would never pull the trigger.

Nah from the specs and features list it doesn't seem to have much my x889 doesn't have,so I should know most of it.

 

[ProgMtl 10+ year member]

Yeah you should....but I'm always listening for that one final adjustment that may make it sound better...hence I never seem to quit adjusting things
