[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8641035, member: 650438"] well we just found your other issue. Its a boss head unit. Dont expect any good sound out of that. Head unit power is nothing I'm talking about real power. That boss head unit makes at most 10 watts rms a channel. Actual power is 150 watts rms per speaker on a real amp. As for processing. That boss has a cheap 16 bit dac and overall poor sound internals so expect garbage sound right out the box. It also has next to nothing when it comes to audio adjustments, aka sh*tty EQ, no time alignment, weak crossovers etc so the sound has zero ability to get any better yes your bass treble EQ options do literally nothing to improve your sound vs a head unit with a real EQ. The industry standard for a decent quality head unit is 13 band or higher EQ, 4 volt pre=outs, 24 bit dac, time alignment and 3 way network mode capable. Head unit choice, selection and tune literally makes or breaks your setup. You can have the most expensive 5000 dollar speaker in the world sound like complete and utter trash with a cheapo head unit and poor install with next to no power. While a set of flea market speakers can sound heavenly in a proper install with a good audiophile oriented head unit tuned properly with good power. [/QUOTE]
