Hey everyone,

I just recently traded in my 04' TL for a 09' TSX w/Tech Pkg and was curious on what everyone's Sound Settings are in their car?

Base:
Tremble:
and etc....

Thanking you all in advance

 

Base: 2
Treble: 5
Center: 2
Subwoofer: 5

Everything else is at 0. Keep my volume usually at 17 and it sounds great!

 

Mine is everything set to 0 or center. My sound lately has been bad though because of a blown speaker i still have to diagnose right one just have not had time lately.

base three from max, center all the way up, balance 2 to the rear, sub woofer 3 from max, treble max, usually play music 25 - 38 sounds great all the time, even with an occasional blown speaker

 

man, you guys must be deaf or something! I usually set my volume at 10 with the windows up and 12 with windows down.. and even that may be a little bit too loud! lol

 

If you put the balance 2 the rear that means you only hear music from the back speakers? I was just wondering cuz I wanted to try out this set up. I listen to mostly trance/house type music.

I have mine at all 0.. The system sounds great when flat.

 

no you don't only hear out the rear speakers, what it does is cause the majority of the sound to come from behind you, which amplifies the stereo effect which increases sound quality, for you in the front seat. not so much for those sitting in the back cause they're just over powered with sound lol, but its about you

but putting it only 1 to the rear or 2 makes it not sound like all the sound is coming from the rear like you think

 

I have bass 2 below max, treble 1 or 2 below max, subs maxed, everything else i think is in the center, i think i have it to the rear also, i listen to my music anywhere from 10-30, luckily no blown speaker yet *knock on wood*

 

+1

 

Thanks everyone, I think I have mine pretty much set but I notice that my speakers on the passenger side are blown out. I just made an appointment at Acura to get it replaced. They stated they might need to replace all, sometimes it's better replacing all than just one. New speakers on Saturday

 

+2. though, with the windows down on the highway, i need it at 14 or 15, but i have never gone to 18, even, unless it's a bluetooth call.

+2 bass, +2 treble, +2 sub, fade 0 and balance 0.

 

I tried your setup and it sounds awesome. It actually masks the distortion from the speakers as well. I only listen to music from 15-17 but still sounds awesome. Thanks for the suggestion.

what does the center setting do?

 

Center is for the speaker on the dashbord - i didnt notice it until i was tweaking the settings

hey Tish - for 2 to the rear, you mean you took 2 points off the from speakers right?
i did this setup for mine and sounds sick

 

from the front*

 

guys, hows the sound quality of the system? i'll be getting this car soon... just curious

 

Stock system is quite impressive. I'm a bit of an audiophile so I had to upgrade speakers and put in an aftermarket sub.

Audio Setting
Bass: 3
Treble: 4
Sub: 3
Fadr: -2

 

The sound is fantastic except:

The sound was initially great except the door speakers began to blow one by one (starting at around 10,000 kms.). I think many have had this problem. I had the speakers replaced. Now the sound quality is great again.....except with certain bass sounds the passenger door speaker buzzes like crazy. Maybe its something in the door vibrating? but I doubt that. The buzzing happens only occasionally, and mostly with classical music (strangely), never with rock or even "thumping" dance music. I suppose I can live with this but it shouldn't be happening. I think the speakers are not necessarily defective, just crappy quality.

Anyone else have this occasional buzzing problem?

 

When you say you upgraded speakers, did you have to change anything besides the speakers? Add an amp or any adapters, etc?
