Ok this is my first time with a HU that can be so finely tuned and it driving me nuts! I've read the manual and know how to adjust the EQ setting but I don't know what they mean. For each of the 5 bands there are 3 settings, what I'm I doing here

 

It does allow for alot of flexibility. However, you don't need to take advantage of it if you don't want to. There are preset EQ settings you can use.

Try them and if you like them, don't worry. If you don't then I would sugg. going to iPersonalize, set them there and load them onto your HU. I think the 9833 has this capability.

 

Yes I like the "rock" setting. I was just trying to figure out what the numbers mean. I've registered on iPersonalize but haven't tried it yet. Thanks I'll try that today.

 

play with it and you'll find the one u like the best

this is what i did, put one song on repeat
mess with my EQ, saved a fews and use the one i like best

 

i set it to flat.... sounds good with my aftermarket speakers and sub...

 

Quick and dirty explanation of the controls:

1) Frequency: There are 5 bands and you can cycle through them by pressing the BAND/TEL button. Each one can be adjusted in 1/3 octave increments, but the range depends on what the adjacent bands are set at. In other words, the bands can't overlap, and must be separated by something like an octave, might be wrong about this.

2) Q: the setting in the middle that's either 1.0, 1.5, or 3.0 is the "Q" of each band, or simply put the bandwidth of the adjustment. 3.0 means your change affects the widest range of freqs centered on whatever that band is set at. 1.0 is the narrowest, great for dealing with problem resonances or suckouts without changing the rest of the spectrum. This can be adjusted by the SOURCE/POWER button

3) Level: The level in dB of boost/attenuation of the specified frequency. Adjusted via the rotary encoder.

The best way to see this graphically is to use I-Personalize.

Peter, thanks for the explaination. I can understand that I've tried iPersonalize and I've set the EQ and crossover, but I'm bot sure how to set time correction. I looks like you have to set all 3 b4 you can download. I have components up front and a sub in the trunk. Any suggestions on time correction?

Technically the time correction varies by height. Here is what I have

Time Correction:

R(ms) Front 0, Rear 1.1, SW 0.4
L(ms) Front 1.1, Rear 2.3 SW 0.4


All you need to do is measure the distance from your head to each Speaker

 

Ok, now I'm messing with crossover on iPersonalize. I have 2 choices "front and subwoofer" I should set the sub to a lower Hz and the front to a high Hz right?

My component front speakers are considered front? And my system is considered "2 Way"??

So confused!

 

Yes, sub is lower.

Don't worry too much about it here. You can still change it on the headunit after you load it.
