[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8063765, member: 576029"] That guide is generally used but I agree it is challenging when you can't adjust while listening. it sounds like the system is louder than you need. in that case, set the HU volume at 70% then adjust amp gains up until you reach your preferred listening level. Since the head unit has 4Volt outputs and you aren't going to use full HU volume, you can set the amp gains around the 3V mark. use either the amp crossovers or the headunit crossovers, but not both. note that the woofers will be out of phase with the tweeters and subs due to the crossovers used. if you reverse polarity of the ESK woofers at the crossover outputs you can resolve that phase difference. an app won't auto-tune, but will assist you with manual tuning. you can also try running the auto-tune routine. i recommend sitting in the car and holding the mic at your head, moving it from left to right ear during the sweeps and tuning process.
