[QUOTE="GrnEydDvl, post: 2077368, member: 568270"] I am no expert in system tuning but since your post has sat for a day here goes: I would set time alignment first. This setting is not going to change based on the other settings. It isn't necessary like crossovers are necessary. That is, you won't hurt your speakers or introduce massive distortion by not setting it. But properly set it can have a dramatic impact on your imaging. Do it. Crossovers can come next. Shoot for 80hz on the sub low pass and high pass to the comps but try 100hz too to see if you like it better. 80hz is better as far as imaging is concerned if your mids can play down that low. You can play with the slopes but I like 24db on my comps high pass and 12 db on my subs (trunk car seat up). You might do better with a 24db slope on your subs since you are in a SUV. Experiment to find what works and sounds best for you. EQ last. EQ should be saved for last to make minor adjustments if necessary. [/QUOTE]
