doesn't work wonders if you're hard of hearing and tune a lot

Well it really boosted the phase of my full range speakers and subwoofer. I had to renovate. was not satisfied. then disables the time adjustment settings. Initially, on the automatic setup, my soundstage was really "flat" and punchy, with the sound being monophonic and coming out of the dash. . THEREFORE I reduced the distance to the door and instrument speakers. brought my sub closer and reversed the phase (auto set to 96" and it was right behind my seat - 24" max). reproduced with the equalizer disabled the memory of how my studio monitors sounded. And the sound quality is decent now, and the picture from the center of the windshield, and the return of some of the stereo effects that tend to overshadow modern mixes, and vocal "doubling" and harmonization.

Much better EQ setting for my speakers. Play around with the time adjustment settings. Now I have a very good sound. I often alternate between using the speakers on the dash and mixing in the doors. I prefer authenticity to a mere line. but with very careful mixing of the doors and alignment of the sills I get a fairly large and cohesive soundstage.
