[QUOTE="Betrayer00GT, post: 3625003, member: 582890"] The point of an EQ is to run an Real Time Analyzer (RTA, as was already mentioned) w/ its mic at the listening position, then use the EQ to get a flat response out of the system for the listener. That is not a perfect process, but it can help. But, once someone buys something they can use it for what ever they want, and not many people have (or inclined to get a hold of for a bit) an RTA, so they make it "sound better". This usually involves raising the bottom and top of the frequency range for "bass" and "detail". Or to lower the top, to keep their ears from bleeding at really high volumes, since the ear is more sensitive to certain ranges than others. Or to correct for a learned preference. Or... ...onandonandonandon. The first paragraph covers the point, though. Well, except beyond the scope of car audio, like say in a Public Address system. [/QUOTE]
