[QUOTE="r0llinlacs, post: 8396845, member: 636634"] It should sound good without EQ. I always ran mine flat EQ with no loudness/no bass boost/no distance correction and it sounded amazing. These are SQ decks and you're probably used to the super bright sound of basic decks with loudness etc. turned on, but SQ is all about being even sounding and most people don't like the even "flat" sound. That's what auto-eq does is basically takes a spectrum analyzer reading of your speakers in their environment through the mic, decides what frequencies need boosted and what needs attenuated until the response curve is flat. Usually results in lower treble because most systems are much brighter than they need to be, but how good it actually works is a toss-up and I only find auto-eq useful for speaker distance correction if you like/need that feature. Also just a heads up, keep the faceplate on. I had a habit of taking the faceplate off every night and eventually it will crap out, I had to warranty it within 6 months of buying it. They don't make decks like they used to. The 80prs is great for sound but the build quality still isn't any better than a $50 HU. [/QUOTE]
