Default Factory Radio Question

What settings do you have everything at? It seems like my radio is either too bassy, or not bassy enough. What do you have yours set at?

yeah the xB function just sound more full. That might be what you are looking for. I ony turn the bass down or switch off of ssp feel when I want to turn up a harder hitting song a little louder than usual. Can't wait for my sub!

I have my bass -2, treble at 4

too much bass if I raise it any higher than 0

The RS2 has a pretty good sub. It won't rattle your car, but it's surprisingly loud.

only the best thing in the world!

Lemme try to explain, basically ur factory radio should comes set to "tC" but u can change the setting from tC to xB or xA.

The reason theyre different is because they are all different preset equalizer levels that they thought i guess was best for car....i got mine set to xB cuz it sounds the best in my opinion...the tc setting is too bassy

if u wanna change it and try it for yourself all u gotta do is (and i hope i'm right, cuz this is off the top of my head) hold the "ssp" button until you see "car type tC" then using the **** you can change it to "xA" or "xB" and listen to the difference...

hope this helped ya.....if all else fails....i believe the instruction manual for the radio tells you how to do it as well
