time correction

[fb111a1 10+ year member]

I have a CDA-105 head unit and Polk MM651 speakers in the front. I am pretty darn happy with the sound but it could still use a little tweaking. I plan on aiming the speakers a bit and am considering doing some time correction.

I noticed that it sounds more balanced if I put my head towards the center of the car. I am assuming this could be fixed with time correction. If this would fix it what would be the best way to do it? A new head unit, some sort of processor or equalizer? It's Christmas and I still need to buy myself something.

I'd use a head unit with tc, it's easier to adjust with it right up front by you.

time correction has to do with phasing not delay

Isn't phase shift a time delay? If two exact signals had zero time delay they would be in phase. Although you could time delay and still be in phase.

another dumb question; does my CDA-105 automatically bypass the Ipod's DAC?

a new HU with T/A would be a good investment, but for cheaps, just try flipping the phases on each side and see what happens each time.
