Tuning - The Simple Rules
Before you can get what, you want you need to know what you want. In the
graphs below, we look at some different response curves and what they mean
and sound like.
Keep in mind that these illustrations are NOT what your EQ graph looks like. They are what
your RTA looks like. If you have a flat response like below on your RTA, your EQ graph will
have lots high spots and low spots to make the RTA graph look like that.
Flat is not the goal
: Generally, a flat response will give a sound lacking in bass
and will sound harsh on the high end and a little "thin" without a lot of body.
An Excellent response curve
: Here is a curve that will almost always sound
superb in a vehicle. The bass area as 3 to 4dB above the midrange and the
highs slope off smoothly. This will have good solid bass and a smooth sound
through the midrange and highs.
