Tuning Help?

[Jonnys009]

Hey everyone - was hoping someone way more knowledgeable than myself could help me in figuring out what could be off here...

Usually my system sounds great... however sometimes female vocals will sound a little *echo-ey* if that makes any sense. Anyone know what could be possibly causing this?

what hu do u have? did u mess with any settings?

Pioneer AVH 5700. Most settings have been messed with. Time alignment set by measuring (set in inches), loudness at low, rear speakers set at -9db adjustment, crossovers set front @80hz, rear @100hz, sub @80hz, eq set by ear, listening position set to driver seat... probably forgetting others.

well i hoped someone that knows your hu would chime in after u posted it. doubt it'll matter but put rears to 0db and use fader to fade to front.. while doing that fade to each speaker and see if it's just 1 speakers doing it.. my hu has car size/type, sound enhancer and lots of other things like that turn all those off see if it's better.. on the time alignment make sure u have those set right and then change position to all see if that helps (i left mine on driver side too)

Interesting point. Setting everything to 0 and balance fader to individual speakers, front left may be a little muddy compared to front right. I’ll have to get back in there and take a look.

I would leave the rear alone and focus on the front, which is where most of your sound comes from. 80Hz for the front seems odd.

I’ll play with that. @100 hz?

some guys here will have hp set lower cause they have nicer speakers i set mine at 100-120hz i have cheap coax.. 80 is ok as long as u don't hear any distortion if u do raise it to 120 see if that helps if so maybe that was the problem.. u do have a sub right? if so let that play 100hz down
