3. Fade to rear fully
4. Increase volume till rear sounds decent (not loud). This happened at around 40 on the volume 'counter'. Should it not happen at a lower volume?
5. Fade to centre/0
6. Increase front speaker gain till it juuuuust overshadows rear, i.e I feel a front footwell 'staging?'
7. Bring in the sub and set it's gain
But this way I found that I'm having to crank up the volume to 40ish (60%) just to bring the rears into play. Isn't this odd?
I mentioned 2-3V based on that 270deg twist. The fronts are set at slightly beyond the half way twist mark, more towards the 75mV end. |
O dada, kya korta hai! Pooro ulto korta hai je! Sref nombors bolta hai, pheeling ekdom nehin hai.
Sir, you have to take REARS as reference, and then set front. Also, please do not talk in Volts and millivolts unless you have a signal generator and a calibrated True RMS digital voltmeter or an Osci like @clipto333 maharaj!
1. Forget the sub (you've already done that; sub channel gain = 0)
2. Play your
favourite music (something that you can hear over and over again and which will lull you from thinking technical!)
3. Set Front channel amp gain to 0
4. Set the rear volume at the HU to a comfortable listening volume (usually comes at 1/3rd of the HU maximum) in the rear seat
5. Increase the Front channel amp gain gradually (forget the knob indicator) till the front volume matches the rear (you have to be in the front seat, turn 90deg toward car center and do a left ear - right ear comparison for rear / front)
6. Reduce and increase the volume
at the HU and see if the front/rear relationship is maintained at each point (by now you should have a neck sprain and numbness in the legs). Repeat with different sources. Once you are through fiddling around, increase the front gain a weeee bit
7. Go back to the 'comfortable listening' volume on the HU. NOW bring up the sub channel gain gradually to a point that you can just feel it if you increase slightly and not feel it if you reduce. Go slightly higher if you are the boom types, or another 30deg if you are the ka-boom type. Sit back, relax and enjoy the music till the pins and needles of your numb feet have gone away (neck sprain to boudi ka area hai, music koochh nahin kar sakta hai)
After that, switch the car off, lock the car, go home and spend some quality time with your phamily.
PS: Front footwell staging?
The stage should be 'high' (ask @B&T what it should imbibe to be in that state)
