Default Built in Equalizer question.....

I have been playing around a little bit with the built in hidden EQ. I was wondering what are some of you guys experiences with this. What numbers are coming up best. Right now I havnt found the right setup. I am no true audiophile, but I do know I like a little more kick in my music. For the Bose setup, what are you finding works best? I've got an XM setup now, so I am switching music styles constantly from Rock, Metal, Rap, to Classical. Any ideas.

Default My 2001 sedan is written up...

in the FAQ. You may find this is valid for your car/year.
74384444, see <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/78583.phtml">Symphony hidden EQ settings</a> for details of tone control settings etc.

I ended up with this after weeks of experimentation, and have had no inkling to change it since. The first four reflect a desire for more deep bass, a bit less upper midrange, and boost in upper treble, although I combine this with turning the treble tone control down 2 clicks. Found this was the smoothest I could get the treble. The last 4 could easily be 5555, just how I ended up. I usually keep the rear fader down 5 clicks.

If you set the best sound for the front alone, then set it best for the back alone, you will find the bass is too loud when you combine them. I solved this by dropping the rear bass EQ setting (started out at 6444), and by keeping the rear faded down.

Has anybody figured out a setting for Avants? Sedan acoustics are different.
