Your Personal Equalizer Settings?

Title is pretty straightforward. Still exploring and wanted to get your opinions and feedback on your equalizer settings for the stock HK system? Thanks in advance!

The first thing everyone should do is turn logic 7 surround off

I don't think there is a sound setting that works for everyone and every car. We all hear things completely differently and our choices tend to be very subjective as well. To add to that, each car is of different size, shape and has different ratio of reflective materials (glass) vs. less reflective material (leather, dash, carpets, etc).

Would be nice to have one setting that worked for everyone, but the best bet is really to understand how each frequency in low, mids and highs affect sound, esp. in relation to vocals vs. instruments, and tweak them to match your car and your hearing preference.

Why would I do that, it sounds way better to my ears with it all the way on?

Just curious about your thought process

Distorts and no bass because its sending the sounds to different speakers, if you turn if off and set up the settings as you would in a car without it like the M2C the sound is clearer and has more depth
