For general listening, it is widely agreed upon that a relatively neutral setting for your EQ is best. That means keeping the bass, mids, and treble around the middle of their respective Hz range. Of course, how good this sounds to you can depend on many factors.

For starters, the bass level should be set so that it is just barely audible, as too much bass can muddy the overall sound. The treble level should be set slightly higher than the bass, and should be increased until it sounds bright but not harsh.

There`s essentially two things you can do: Increase or decrease Bass and Treble by the same amount. Increasing them by the same amount will essentially lower the midrange (the range of frequencies between bass and treble). Decreasing them by the same amount will essentially increase the midrange.

Bass frequencies are generally between 60 to 120 hertz, mids between 400 to 2,500 hertz, and treble between 8,000 to 15,000 hertz.

These aren`t fixed definitions, but typically bass accounts for frequencies between 20 and 300 Hz , mid is 300 Hz to 4 kHz, and treble counts as anything above 4 kHz, very roughly speaking.

Bass is defined as the counterpart of treble. The treble is the very best sound in music while the bass is that rock bottom sound in music. The treble is found on the road within the staff that`s an area above the bass while the bass is found on the road within the staff that is a space lower than the treble.

Bass exists between about 20Hz and 200Hz.

If you want to maximize your bass-heavy music, you need to adjust your equalizer within the 20-200Hz range by boosting the decibels (dB) in that range.

However, a good starting point is to set the volume knob at around 3 or 4, the bass at 5 or 6, the mid at 7 or 8, and the treble at 9 or 10. From there, you can experiment with the settings until you find the perfect sound for your situation. Guitar Gear Finder is the Ultimate Guide to Guitar Amp Settings.

2. Mid-Range. Mid-range frequencies will range from 250 Hz to 4 kHz, which are quite responsible for the body of the music (vocals, guitars, or other instruments). Setting too high mid-range will make the music sound grating or harsh, whereas setting too low will make the music sound muddy or lacking in detail.

The midrange frequencies, also referred to as the midrange, is typically the frequency range between 300Hz and 5,000Hz. This is the range where the majority of audio content is in most music, movies and TV shows.

Midrange: 500 Hz to 2 kHz

For bass instruments, this frequency range adds harmonics that can help cut through the mix. Too much around 500 Hz can make your mix sound boxy, but not enough and the track feels thin. Try boosting 700 – 900 Hz on the bass guitar to help add clarity without muddying up the low end.

Mids, also known as midrange (and sometimes “body”), refer to the middle-frequency range of sound, typically between 200 and 2,000 Hz. This frequency range includes sounds such as the majority of speech and the majority of musical instruments.

An over-hyped treble profile will make audio tracks sound too sharp for most ears, especially if bass and mids are lacking in comparison to the treble.

The treble clef is typically used for higher voices and instruments, such as a flute, violin, trumpet, or soprano voice. The bass clef is usually utilized for lower voices and instruments, such as a bassoon, cello, trombone, or bass voice.

No. Increasing the treble doesn`t decrease the bass. It just increases the amplitude of those frequencies and gives you more high end. Conversely, increasing the bass doesn`t reduce the treble but gives you more low end.

The best equalizer setting for your car is one that is neutral. A neutral setting is best for most genres of music and podcasts. However, if you prefer bass-heavy music like hip-hop or EDM, you could boost the mids and highs by +2 or +4 and boost the bass by +4.

For example, in the data of 2, 5, 3, 4, 5, and 5, the least value is 2 and the greatest value is 5, so the range is 5 – 2, or 3. It is also useful to know what number is mid-way between the least value and the greatest value of the data set. This number is called the midrange.

For a clean tone: set the gain control low, and the master volume control high. For a gritty, overdriven tone: set the gain control low-medium and the master volume control low. For a distorted tone: set the gain control medium-high, and the master volume control low-medium.

Basically, your brain picks up on the rhythms of lower, bassier music faster than it does high-pitched noises. Researchers theorize that this is why music from various ethnic origins around the world is largely designed with background rhythms made up of lower tones.

The Best Equalizer Setting For Bass

If you want to maximize your bass-heavy music, you need to adjust your equalizer within the 20-200Hz range by boosting the decibels (dB) in that range.

How do I use and adjust the climate control features?

ANSWER : Your vehicle is equipped with efficient and easy-to-use controls that can simply adjust everything from temperature to air circulation.

To use your Temperature Control, first find the knob labeled with red and blue lines located at the center of your dashboard, just below your stereo’s head unit. Simply turn the knob clockwise raise the temperature (red), and counterclockwise to lower the temperature (blue), in your vehicle.
To use your Fan Control, first find the knob labeled with a four-paneled fan symbol, located at the center of your instrument panel. Again, simply turn clockwise to increase the fan speed, and counterclockwise to decrease.
To use your Air Delivery Mode Control, first find the air delivery mode knob located at the center of your instrument panel, labeled with multiple symbols representing the mode options:
To direct airflow to the upper body of seated passengers from the instrument panel outlets, turn the knob to the Vent mode, labeled with a symbol of a passenger with an arrow directed at the face.
To direct airflow both from the instrument panel and floor outlets, turn the knob to the Bi-level mode, labeled with a symbol of a passenger with two arrows directed at the face and the feet.
To direct airflow to the floor outlets – with some airflow directing towards the windshield and side window outlets, turn the knob to the Floor mode, labeled with a symbol of a passenger with an arrow directed at the feet. (Floor mode automatically selects outside air rather than recirculation).
To direct airflow to defog and clear excess moisture from windows while still directing a small amount of airflow to the floor, turn the knob to the Defog mode, labeled with a symbol of a passenger sitting with a windshield above their heads and an arrow directed at the feet.
To direct airflow to windows to quickly clear moisture and frost while still directing a small amount of airflow to the floor, turn the knob to Defrost mode, labelled with a symbol of a windshield with wavy arrows pointing upward. (Defrost mode automatically selects outside air rather than recirculating). Do not drive your vehicle until all windows are clear of frost to ensure visibility.
Some vehicles are equipped with a rear window defogger. The button labelled with the symbol of a rectangle with wavy arrows pointing upward on top, located at the center of the instrument panel. Once selected, an indicator light will turn on to indicate this mode is in effect. To turn on or off, simply press the button. An electric grid on the rear window will heat up and clear, for approximately 10 minutes after you have selected this mode.
To use your Outside Air function, find the button labelled with a symbol of a car with an arrow pointing diagonally downward located at the center of the instrument panel. Once selected, an indicator light will come on to indicate this mode is in effect.
To use your Recirculation function, find the button labelled with a symbol of a cloud with a curved arrow on top located at the center of the instrument panel. Once selected, an indicator light will come on to indicate this mode is in effect. Use this mode to cool air inside the vehicle more quickly, or to prevent odors and air from outdoors to enter the vehicle.
To use your air conditioning, first find the button labelled with a snowflake symbol, located at the center of your instrument panel. Simply press to turn on and off. Once selected an indicator light will come on to indicate the air conditioning is in effect. Adjust the intensity of the air conditioning using the temperature knob, explained above. Air conditioning mode may be used in any mode so long as the fan is on. (Air conditioning removes moisture from the air inside the vehicle, so a small amount of water dripping underneath the vehicle while idling with this mode selected is normal.)
To turn your climate control system on or off, press the Power button labelled with a symbol of a circle with a straight line passing through the top, located at the center of your instrument panel near the buttons mentioned above.

Tips

Your vehicle may be equipped with an Auto function, which allows your vehicle to judge where is best to direct airflow. To activate Auto mode, press the button labelled AUTO, located at the center of your instrument panel near the buttons mentioned above.
Vehicles equipped with Auto mode will also be equipped to direct airflow differently for the passenger and driver. While the passenger’s side airflow and driver’s side airflow can be synced by using these controls as directed above, press the passenger temperature button labelled “PASS,” located at the center of the instrument panel, to sync and unsync. When selected, this button will illuminate to indicate the passenger’s side is using a different climate control mode than the driver’s side. Press again to sync both sides. Use the buttons labeled with “+” and “-” symbols to raise and lower the temperature respectively. There are two sets of these buttons, so use the set closest to the driver’s side and passenger’s side to adjust each side respectively.

Engine shaking while in neutral and park

ANSWER : It’s possible you may have disturbed a vacuum hose while you were doing the job, check for that first. But I’m concerned about the valves because If you get the valve clearance too tight, it may develop a miss at idle. This is because the affected cylinder cannot get enough compression to fire at low engine speeds. I recommend you re-visit the valve adjustment right away, because driving with a valve adjusted too tight can quickly lead to a burnt valve. If you don’t find a problem in the valve adjustment, then it’s time to look at other possible causes. If you’d like to have another pair of eyes look at this to be sure, contact Your Mechanic to have a technician come to your home or office to check your valve adjustment and your misfire for you.

I have a cold weather auto start feature in my auto start remote.

ANSWER : Hi there. The cold weather timer is a great feature to have, but you can adjust the time for the auto start to stay on for. I recommend setting the timer for 20 minutes to allow the engine to warm up. The hardest thing to do on an engine is start it up and shut it off before it warms up. This will gel up the engine oil and causing the engine to fail due to lack of engine oil. If you need further assistance with your auto start system, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
