[QUOTE="GBloes, post: 8749334, member: 682063"] Your head unit has the basic left/right front/rear balance/fader but it also has what it calls “vocal imaging” which is time delay. The way they do it isn’t great but it’s better than nothing. The basic principle of time delay is delaying the speakers closest to the listening position to match the speaker that is farthest away, so that the sound from all speakers reaches you at the same time. So, the front right dash and door speakers would be delayed quite a lot as they are closest to the driver so that the sound from them reaches you at the same time as the sound from the rear right speaker (which would have no delay), as that one is farthest away. If you have the “vocal imaging” set to the middle of the graph then nothing will be delayed. Move it to the right and it’ll apply delay to the left speakers in relation to the right speakers, move it up and it’ll delay the front speakers in relation to the rear.
