[QUOTE="Mooncatt, post: 8674232, member: 676968"] The JVC I use to use had tons of adjustments, including EQ, time alignment, and individual speaker level volume. All of those settings were global, so it didn't matter what source you're listening to. The only thing that was source dependent was source level adjustment, but that was set and forget. So are you sure those settings on yours are all changing based on the source selection? I'm running Pioneer now, but I figured JVC wouldn't make things that complicated. In fact, most settings should be set and forget. Most music today is mastered correctly so you hear it as the artist intended in an ideal listening environment. Obviously a car isn't ideal, which is where the various head unit settings come in. It's also best to set those with test tones and an SPL meter (for the basic hobbyist, apps on your phone are sufficient). Once you have the system tuned for your car, the difference is night and day. I use to fiddle with those settings all the time until I did a proper tune. Now I barely change anything other than the volume or source. [/QUOTE]
