This may sound weird… But does anyone know where I can find the EQ curves for the stock head unit? For example, if I boost the bass one notch, I want to know how many decibels it boosts at which frequency (most likely a shelf eq).

The reason I need to know this is that I am an audio engineer, and I check the songs I work on in the car, and make adjustments if necessary.

Thanks in Advance.

 

You cant. But it will show you the curve when you adjust the bass and treble accordingly

 

Well, yeah, that's obvious that it shows a generic display.

What I'm looking for is actual specs on the equalizer in the radio. Even just the crossover frequencies in the EQ would be great.

 

Put a tone generator on the aux in and get a db meter if its that important

 

You mean, run pink noise (which contains all frequencies) through the aux, and run frequency analyzer software to measure the changes in gain in each band.

Yes, I understand, but what I'm looking for is factory specs and exact crossover points.

Thanks.

 

gl bro thats gonna be hard if not impossible to find. what if you just leave it "flat" which im sure you know its not a true flat

what kind of music do you make?

 

Well, the "car reference" is a final check to listen on consumer speakers. I also listen on a bose iPod dock radio, same concept.
I listen in the car with the same settings that I listen to all music, so the perspective is the same.
(bass 3, mids 0, treble 3)

Sometimes, if I feel the bass is too light on the song, I will turn the car stereo bass up a notch for a second to see if that fixes the problem. Then I immediate put it back to 3. Then I go inside and adjust the EQ on the song.

I work mainly in the Rap genre here in Atlanta, but also work with Rock.

 

Best of luck, gotta say the stock head unit is really bad at emitting mids.

link to music? i'm a rapper. look up Tangent_ on soundcloud if ya want

 

nice. ive never been a fan of that eq style myself but most tend to go with something along those lines
