So what setting do you have your stock stereo on?

Thanks to Randode who educated me that we have the option to change model types for our head unit to suit the different models and dramatically change the sound...

any reasoning behind it?

 

xA Feel, nobody at the dealer told me about this little goodie, so for about a month I rode around with the stereo sounding like crap....

 

Umm, the factory radio did not last very long in my ride. So I did not get a chance to play with the features.

 

I don't remember what I have it set on....

 

i always had it on tc hear, but after you mentioned it to me at this weekends meet i messed around with it and i really like xB hear cuz its louder. i just worry if it is thinking its an xB now it could damage my tC speakers by changing the crossovers for the tweeters or something. I do like the xB hear though.

 

xA Feel all the way.........

I don't know why but the tC setting in all three cars sounds HORRIBLE!

Who knows.......

 

It wont damage anything...

All of the tC settings sounded muddy...even in a tC.

 

Its just an eq with presets based on the size of the interior of the different cars. Dont know why the tC is so bad though. Just crappy presets I guess.

 

I just use the LOUD setting.

Have fun with the settings and get it to "your" sound.

 

I figured out how to get it to tell me what the setting is, but how do you change it? noone told me about this either, but I over heard at the last meet.

 

ok.. how do i get it to switch to xb hear in a tc

 

Hold in your SSP button until it registers, then use volume to change the settings.

 

The radio that was in my xb I had set to 'xa' and swapping between 'hear' and 'feel' depending on the bass in the song.

 

i think it depends on the car you are in too. i used to use xb feel cause there was more bass but then i switched to xa feel because there was still enough bass and the highs were higher and clearer. and yes the tc settings are crap. they are just not loud enough or something.

 

what sharpies_tc said

 

now that I learned how to do this. I put it on xA feel. I like to feel my music. I listen to mostly alternative and rock so this seems to sound the best to me. xB and xA seemed really close, but liked the xA a lil' better.

 

Mine is on TC feel, what do I know, I work for TWO stereo companies and don’t have upgraded tunes, jeez.

 

wow i just almost blew my head off.. xb feel

 

was this a warning or sarcasm??

 

Totally ignoring the setting in the display, but changing from one to another while in several different musical styles (classic orchestral, jazz piano, rock) each time I ended up on xB Feel, so that's where it lives in my xB.
