[QUOTE="West_Coaster, post: 4683979, member: 594750"] I just did the auto EQ and time alignment on my P980BT. I taped the mic to the drivers headrest, turned off the unit, held eq until it was ready, pressed start and closed the door. It ran for about 5-6 minutes and was done. It uses a series of white noise patterns through each of the speakers, and automatically adjusts the test levels. If you have your levels set incorrectly (amp) before the test, you won't get good results. IMHO the auto eq is good, but I don't like time alignment. If I set time alignment to left (drivers position) the sound stage is pinpointed to about 3 feet directly in front of me. Great soundstage, but horrible stereo separation. I like to run w/o time alignment, and have the fader/levels set so the front speakers are providing 90% of the sound. I still have to mess with time alignment to see if it's just a gimic or can actually be useful. The auto eq is pretty nice to get a starting point. It had the high frequencies a bit too harsh for me, and not enough mid. I'm not familiar with the 960mp, but I hope my post was a bit helpful. [/QUOTE]
