2013 sound settings

[christion]

I HATE the way you have to adjust the fade on the touchscreen. It's this stupid dot that you can move around anywhere on the picture of the car and it's really difficult to deal with. I just want a simple back/front fade setting. On to the questions. I know that some of you aren't satisfied with the sound system, but if you're coming from an aveo, this 6 speaker sound system is HELLA better than the aveo's 6 speaker. The bass can vibrate the seats and isn't strained when turned up high. If you wanted any bass in the aveo, it sounded like a frog or something. This bass is smooth and strong. Sometimes the front speakers can sound overly high with too much treble, so I'm wondering if you guys have a setting you prefer that fixes this and gives a little more sound in the back. I can't decide if I like it better when the dot is right under the intersecting lines, or if it sounds fine with the factory settings. Fading it slightly to the rear seems like it makes the overall volume less capable, but it's also not so high up front. What do you guys think?

I don't know if the drivers or the tone settings are the same but on my 2012 I run these for MP3s \ CDs. Whether your system functions the same is probably a 70\30 chance. Also remember audio is a personal preference so even if they are identical you might not like the same thing I do.


Bass : 3
mid : 0
high : 2
fade 0
balance 0

Thanks. I know it's personal preference, but I was curious anyways. I'm also scared to push the bass and maybe ruin it. The last thing I want is for the bass to sound like it naturally did in my aveo.

With those settings I often run the volume set at number 30-32 playing MP3s which I think is around as high as it can go without risking much distortion at those settings.

Been doing that for 15,000 miles now.

I haven't listened to mp3's, but with siriusxm, and pandora through bluetooth, 30 is LOUD, lol. I decided to leave it balanced with no rear or front fade. It sounds more full and better that way. I'm satisfied with this sound system. Some people on here aren't, but enough bass on the factory 0 level to vibrate my seat is enough for me, and the front sounds really clear. I wouldn't complain if the rear speakers were more clear, but I don't think you could have bass and nice treble in the same speaker. I think the two front upper speakers make it sound out of balance and sometimes add too much treble in the front compared to the back. An 8 or 9 speaker system could fix that, or a separate bass and two normal speakers in the back, like some people on here have done. That's too much trouble for me because it already sounds good.

I know that these 6 speakers are really good and produced superb sound which is ever reliable but when i was use this kit in my car they are totally changed the behave after some time its sound is dim...

MP3s I have on a USB stick sound maybe 7/10 as good as through bluetooth. I usually stick with 20 volume, which is plenty loud through BT. Wish it could read AAC files so I didn't have to convert
