Right now i use the fader to put an emphasis on the front stage with subtle background sound from the rear. I hear some use the gain instead to detune the rear with fade centered. Which is better and why or does it not matter.
gain tutorials always tell u to center everything including fade 1st. Im wondering if fading after u have set gains sends more hu voltage to the front and causes the system to distort sooner.It doesn't matter; they both attenuate the signal so whether you control the attenuation by the gain or by the fader, you are still only adjusting output. You can probably get a more specific output level by using the gain.
No, it doesn't. Fade and balance are purely attenuation of the channels, not amplification.Im wondering if fading after u have set gains sends more hu voltage to the front and causes the system to distort sooner.
So you enjoy when you're riding in the back seat and you have a 4 way 6x9 screaming less than 10" from your ears? I know I sure don't. I can't see any benefit for rear fill unless there is a DVD player source and screen and even then no music would be played through them.my opinion is that only the rear seat passengers benefit from it.
Yeah, it seems Sedans need rear fill / rear door speakers in order to get good sound imaging.
In my Mustang, I have a 2 way comp set up front, and my back seat passengers never complain.
Then again: I never wang my system with people in the car other than myself. It's a dck move, IMO.
I like to talk while I drive. Gets my mind off the idiots that drive in Miami. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
As for Fader, it just lowers the output to whatever side you're going away from. Fader F10 the fronts will be just as loud as Fader F0.
At least to the ear.
