EQ setting for the new Mobile Audio System?

Question

1990 300 E Radio Replacement Help
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just upgraded Becker with JVC HDR-1 with Alpine Type S speakers in front and back and disabled the door speaker which were mid bass speakers powered by the factory Active Bass Amp. Bass Amp is out and replaced with 6 channel JL Audio Amp powering front and rear Type S Alpine speakers and JL Audio 10" Sub-woofer wedge in the trunk. Does any one know how to set the EQ in the JVC ?
Is the following system OK
Head Unit - JVC KD-HDR1
Alpine Type SPS -10C2 - front
Alpine Type SPS -13C2 - Rear
JL Auido Sub woofer - 10W1v2-4
JL Audio Six channel System Amplifier - A6450

Do I need to power the door speakers ?
How do I set the EQ in the JVC
Amp is set as following:
Front speakers - 118 htz Hi-Pass
Rear speakers - 146 htz Hi-Pass
SUB - 70 htz Low-Pass w/Bass Boost - off.
Please let me know if these setting are OK. I get static sound when changing radio stations.

you gotta play around with it , the front speakers are critical for a good soundstage so the lower you can set the high pass the better, but it will quikly start to distort at higher volume levels due to trying to produce bass it just isn't capable of. I would first set all your gains to where the volume works well with your reciever, right down the settings, then turn all gains down accept the fronts, then with the high pass set at 200 for the fronts turn your reciever to its highest listening level, and start to turn the hp from 200 down till you start to here it distort, then go back up about 20hz and call it good. then turn the front gain all the way down and repeat with the rear. after the rear is set I would experiment with the sub, try some bass boost, try raising the lp. ect.. it really is a personel preference. and dont be surprised after you think its perfect you come back the next day and want to change it, it takes a few "visits" to really nail it down. i think you hearing needs to "refresh" to truely get it .

If i were to guess this is about how it would fall out.

the front speakers High pass to about 160.

the rears at about 80,

the sub at around 80hz lowpass. and a slight amount of boost.

Actually we can't tell you the right eq. settings since it all depends of the acoustics of your car and your preferences. For the frequencies it depends on what you want, if you want "voice speakers" set the eq. to higher frequencies to block the bass. While higher the frequency number the bass will sound lower. The rear speakers can hold a little mid bas so you can turn the frequency a little lower until it reached you taste. And for the subs lower the frequencies to block high pitch notes leaving only bass responses. Remember it all depends on your musical taste, you will be setting the freq. for some time until you feel you achieved optimal performance. For the static , check the ground connections, make sure the wire is making full contact with the chassis, scratch some paint and expose the bare metal for maximum conductivity and lower your gain a little, you head unit start to distortionate about 75% of the volume. with your amps gain at lowest turn up your unit until it start to distortionate then back up a little. then start turning up the gain until you feel you has the maximum quality.

the perfect pursuit of intense high quality audio reproduction on your room is precisely that - a dedicated reproduction of music because it became recorded. there are a number of approaches you are able to tweak your equipment to augment that have and produce it as close to to the unique recording as available. despite the kit you're working with (Denon makes some very sturdy amps certainly), speaker setup is taken into consideration one of the main considered necessary. ideally, you will desire to setup your audio equipment in any such way that your listening place would desire to type the perfect end of a triangle (the different 2 ends being the audio equipment!) and the area between the midpoint between the audio equipment and your listening place would desire to be one million.5 situations the area between the audio equipment. Tow interior the audio equipment slightly so as that they are dealing with you. Then ascertain that the spekaers are a sufficient distance from the edge partitions (greater effective the greater useful). dodge putting audio equipment close to to corners as much as available (it is the place somewhat some the reverberations happen and consequence in a boomy, "bassy" sound). This setup would desire to artwork great for many audio kit. in case your project is merely too little bass despite if, evaluate including a subwoofer (merely some very intense end audio equipment are able to producing quite low frequency indicators and a powered subwoofer is frequently an extremely sturdy answer). Equalizers got here in vogue earlier the creation of CDs and have been used drastically to tweak around the noise ranges extra by making use of the magnetic tape or maybe LPs. With digitally encoded music on CDs, this has very nearly replace right into a non-project. human beings nonetheless use equalizers to augment recordings etc., yet it is a various utility altogether.
