How to set EQ settings on head unit. Tune Equalizer to setup and adjust like a pro!

[@MegaSloth]

DUDE! I have been binge watching car audio videos for a few weeks and this is probably the most helpful video to date. No one is really talking about this topic. Just saw the oscilloscope video also I'm about to tune my system with that. Thanks for the info!!!

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Sure thing man! Let me know if you have any questions. Take care ;)

[@criticaldawg]

Wow it changed my system completely! I’m just a super novice. Your videos are easy to understand. You do a great job at riding the line of explaining for noobys and also making it easy to understand the technical jargon. Great job

I graduated with my MECP advanced certification from Installer Institute in Daytona Beach FL a year out of high school way back in 2004 and of course it was 18 months of doing and learning more of my love for audio and a total blast being 3000 miles from my home in CA on my own and young and I got to experience FL spring break with all my buds from the school. Anyway what u said about the audible frequency range for humans especially the midrange and why NOT to boost them too high is one of the first things we learned at Installer institute and it's so true that it's the exact opposite of how most people would think of boosting the mids of dropping them. That brought back some great memories of one of the first things we learned at that school and the amazing instructors who were the coolest and so knowledgeable. I can say that audio components (or any type of technology for thar matter) was a hell of alot different back in 2004 compared to the stuff we got today class D was a new thing back then and meant only for subs now we got full range high power class D amps built into head units that can rock better than some external amps and these days we got super high power high efficiency amps that can power an entire system with just one and some are so small they can be mounted behind the dash totally out of sight. In 2004 that would be like science fiction. Anyway good video and great call on that advice on how to set midrange frequencies as soon as I heard that it brought me way back to Installer Institute and one of the best times in my young life 😊

[@michaelmonitor7443]

Bro, thank you for this explanation. I just had subs forever and recently put in amp'd door speakers. 3k watts on subs and 1.5k on 4way put 2 alternators in 2 batteries etc. Was getting static and popping and sound cutting out. Played around on my own and worked crossovers and that really helped but I wasn't sure about the EQ. I was playing some sinewaves to test but this 5 mins saved me probably hours of screwing around with the EQ. Having the understanding of the way our ears pick up sound makes the idea of tuning the EQ make so much sense now.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Awesome! Glad it helped

[@RenCarDynamics]

Got it working. And tuned with your directions.my amp and subs work amazing,great sound no clipping. Got it set to the max without distortion and it sounds great thank you so much for all of you help and videos. I'll record how it all looks and sounds when I can and I'll send the link.

[@krypto95]

Don't do this method. You'll distort and harm your speaker more easily. Get a rta (sound analyzer) and then cut down the volume for the louder frequencies. You can get more volume and a better eq preset.

[@kmarei]

The best benefit of loudness is for when you have people in the car and can't turn up the volume. It gives you a nice boost for the lower bass .

[@_N4VE_]

i call it the STFU setting

[@ghostridergale]

Update: I changed my settings as you suggested and it did make a huge difference sounding so much better then it did! My car has a center speaker in the back I’m assuming a subwoofer? But it had all 3 settings so I left the base and terrible alone and lowered the midrange and I’m now getting a great bass sound from the center speakers without raising the bass settings! So thanks again for your advice, made all the difference in the world on my vehicle’s system Like you mentioned, I been doing it backwards from what your suggesting since that’s how others have shown me to adjust my EQ! Looking forward to trying the setting as you suggested and see how that sounds now? I never raise my bass more than a couple ++, anything more then that really sounded like it wasn’t good for the speakers either? Even though I wanted more bass, trying to get it with the normal speakers just don’t work as I seen you agree too! Least I had something right! 😂 Did get a subwoofer for my truck for more bass, nothing too crazy cause I only wanted my car stereo to sound more like my home entertainment center stereo sounds like at normal bass levels. Never cared for those super high bass pounding that’s the only thing you hear for blocks everywhere! Think I’ll be very happy with all your suggestions! Thanks for your time and knowledge and sharing it will help me greatly I’m sure!

I think you did a good job overall. Even though I'm not quite a beginner I think that alot of bassheads only focus on spl vs sq. For us to understand this better we'd have to understand what gain and gain overlap is and how compression and music production affects our systems

Most times I start flat on my eq settings then work on lows and highs 1st. I always leave my mids last. Most ppl that I know do install tend to do the mids last

[@KvnWlsn]

It makes sense to adjust your mids last since they're the frequencies we hear the most of its the frequency that can also cause the most hearing fatigue which can cause you to hear things that aren't there and as a result, make inaccurate adjustments to your system eq.

[@Ablonzinthehouse]

Sorry if this is too long. I appreciate your videos!! Keep up the great work helping us audio enthusiasts. I was wondering your thoughts on tuning the eq with Pink Noise and Sound Spectrum Analyzer. It almost looks like a sine wave instead of a smiley face. I have 13 band eq Pioneer AVH-210EX. Having a -3db slope higher at the low end and lower at the high end, I noticed everything is loud but not ear-piercing. I am running 4-6.5 Kicker CS with Kenwood KAC-8401. Also going to have a Kicker 8 in hideaway for the low end. Would I adjust the eq before the gains of each amp? If so, where should I have the gains at when tuning the eq or does it matter what volume it is for using Pink Noise? Thank you for your time!

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Sorry for late eply, gains should be set to match preamp voltage coming from heading for cleanest signal to set your EQ. Definitely set all your EQ adjustments first then dial in your gain afterwards. Otherwise you will likely clip. Pink noise is great as long as it is quality pink noise. I’ve just never personally tuned with it, but know people that do swear by it.

I'm using the standard equalizer on Android. I already adjusted it before watching this video. I wanted to watch this video to see if I was on the right track and I clearly am. You said that it should have a 😃 pattern and that it sounds better with that pattern - I heavily agree on that. My eq settings are: 63+8db, 125+6db, 250+4db, 500+2db, 1k+0db, 2k+2db, 4k+4db, 8k+6db, 16k+8db I prefer doing this evenly because the sound does not sound off when I use even numbers. I'm also using the built in Dolby atmos and the UHQ upscaler.

I always set up my headunit first then tune my amp. I use the smiley face eq for better output. The speaker level and the subwoofer level on the headunit, i max out to get the full volts to my bass and voice amp. But before I tune my amps I find the clipping point of my headunit with the setting I put. After I find the clipping point I use a 40 hz 0db test tone for the bass amp and 1khz 0db test tone for my voice amp. I use a multimeter and lemme tell you my shit can be heard down the block bumping.

Just run it inline with your RCA’s. You can add a level knob to any amp that uses rca inputs. Look into the PAC-LC1 for cheapest most reliable option

Do you adjust the eq after you set if flat to adjust amp gain or before?

Setting your gain should be the last thing you do in your system after you dial in everything how you typically listen to it. That way you don’t inadvertently clip your signal when dialing in your eq settings
