[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8805691, member: 611804"] I haven't read all the post here but here is my process. I use a measurement mic to see the response curve of each individual speaker. And adjust the individual eq for each speaker 1 at a time to get as flat of a response as possible from each individual driver. I then use the mic to adjust each speakers amplitude or volume level so they appear the same volume at the the point of which you are centering the sound stage, drivers seat or center of vehicle. Then I go through the process of adjusting the time alignment so that the sounds both tweeter and mid of each front door reach my ear at the same time. This helps adjust the height of your sound stage when you have mids in the doors and tweets on the sails, dash, or a pillars. After that I adjust for left and right. You can set your sound stage position several ways I prefer the drivers seat since I'm most commonly the only person in my truck. But you could also set it to be centered for a more even listening experience between driver and passenger side. After all is said and done i set my eq for the whole system to my ears and what I like. Naturally your ears pick up the mid range better than the bass and tweeter range so it's not uncommon for your eq curve to look like a smiley face. I often use the decks coarser eq to do the final to the ear adjustment. Your bass will be low during testing so adjust it afterwards to your level of liking. Double check you aren't clipping when it's all said and done. You may lose a few db of overall loudness due to having to boost certain frequencies. This in turn means a lower gain position in order to not clip the signal. Most of the time it's not an issue since most people only care about db of the subs which are largely unaffected. A few db on highs isn't a big deal. You could always have a surplus of power to make up for this as well. [/QUOTE]
