Default need some help with "q factor"?

i have a pioneer deh-p4000ub installed in my s2k and i am having a hard time understanding what q factor means my options are 2n-1n-1w-2w, could someone try to explain what these numbers mean and what the letters mean? and how it tunes the sound?

i couldnt find anything on this site about it and very little on google

Give your question at least a day on any forum site. We're not your personal tech support line.

Your manual does touch on it if you bother to look at the diagram. Q Factor affects the shape of the curve. In a nutshell, the higher the Q Factor the wider the bands affected by the EQ.

Play with it. The end result of the sound is what matters anyway.

There's definitely info out there on Google. I didn't know a thing about it before Googling.

i have opened the manual and looked at the diagram, what im trying to do is take as much bass out of the door speakers as possible(i also have no sub) so i set my low to 40hz and q factor to 2n being it looks like that is the least one bcuz in the manual its listed as 2n-1n-1w-2w but it seems i get more bass when its on 2n than 2w
