ok, you may or may not know... i'm using a JVC KD-AVX2 deck.. now, i have to admit, i really suck at adjusting this damn thing so hopefully you can shed some light on some of this crap for me... I get really confused with setting the speaker distance or "timing" also i have settings where i can adjust the db -10db - +10db. what the does all of this do? here's a breakdown of what the deck has.... intelligent EQ (7-Band iEQ): This model has Hard Rock, R&B, Pop, Jazz, Dance, Country, Reggae, Classic, User 1, User 2, User 3, and Flat preset EQ curves. User 1, User 2, and User 3 presets can be adjusted to your preference and stored in memory. For each User preset, you can independently adjust the following frequencies: 60 Hz, 150 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 6.3 kHz, and 15 kHz. The level of each frequency can be adjusted from -5dB to +5dB in 1dB increments. Speaker Size: You can adjust the following speaker size settings: * Front: Small or Large * Center: Small, Large, or None * Rear: Small, Large, or None * Subwoofer: On or Off Speaker Level: You can adjust the output level of each speaker from -10 dB to +10 dB. Speaker Distance: You can adjust the speaker output timing separately for each speaker according to the distance from the speakers to the listening position. The distance for each speaker can be adjusted from 6" to 240" in 6" increments. Subwoofer Output: In addition to the 2.5V front and rear preamp outputs, this unit has a single 2V subwoofer preamp output on a 6" pigtail. The subwoofer output has independent level control, adjustable from -6 to +08, and a selectable phase setting that can be adjusted to Normal or Reverse. Crossover: The KD-AVX2 has an internal crossover that allows you to choose one of the following cutoff frequencies: of 80, 120, or 150 Hz. This crossover acts as a low-pass filter for the subwoofer preamp output and a high-pass filter for the front and rear preamp outputs. i've put into bold letters on where i need the help...
set the speaker levels to 0. if you must use the Time alignment set it by ear. or just break out the tape measure like i did on mine THEN fine tune it from there. not everyone hears the same so the settings can be off for most people.
