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

In this video I show you how to setup and adjust your equalizer (EQ) on your head unit to get the best sound possible from your car audio gear. Every head unit and setup is different, but the principle will remain the same.

Remember, Equalizer settings are preferences and can/should be adjusted to your personal taste. With that said. This method will optimize the frequency spectrum to give you a richer/fuller sound stage.

Any questions, please feel free to ask!

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!!!

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.

Thanks bro 10 years hooking up and tuning my own car audio. Best thing I ever heard so far. Keep it up 👍

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.

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

Thank you, thank you, thank you, was into car audio decades ago, life took a detour but im getting back into it. I have never heard from anyone the info you just laid down, though I'm sure, i see, a lot has changed since the late 90's. Awesome video bro, I apreciate you!

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 😊

[Spacesprocketz]

Thanks for this!! I’ve been trying to tune my head unit for almost 3 YEARS! It’s sounds great now! Even got rid of that static that use to be in the background

[beagledad]

This is the explanation I've been looking for. Thanks brother.

[armandox]

This is information is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve been struggling to understand how an EQ works can’t wait to play around with the settings now.

[tysonchannell]

Man, thank you. I never had a clue about how it ever worked and now my system is on point. Thank you again!!!!

[jesusm]

[skywarp]

Wow! I bumped into your video not knowing that I had been doing the right EQ setting all my life. Thanks for this.
