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.
