[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8502987, member: 628688"] My mentor in DSP tuning doesn't recommend tuning by ear until after initial tuning is done, and even then the RTA is used to confirm what sounds "off". Anything we can hear can be confirmed with measurements performed correctly with the right tools. I didn't even listen to my car once the RTA measurements and tuning commenced until I had fully matched the front speakers and subwoofer to the sound curve I targeted. It took two evenings to tune my car with the Core-1 DSP, only because I knew some things weren't good enough after the first session. Another point worth mentioning briefly is professionals should be tuning to a process that is repeatable and doesn't waste time. DIY enthusiasts often look at tuning as an art, or something that never ends. Shop techs don't get to tweak a car endlessly because someone has to pay for that time. I don't judge DIYers for tuning by ear, or however one chooses to spend their time. What I feel is beneficial is helping others to get to a point where the tuning is done so it's time to enjoy the music. That's a more difficult mental roadblock to overcome for some than for others.
