Just bought a new Countryman S! I was wondering what opinions we have on what is the best stereo settings for the Harmon Karmon....bass, fader, treble, etc?

 

Well I have used to do Car Audio for a while and I always reccomend to keep bass/treble/mid close to center or negative. It may not seem right but if you want more volume then turn it up. When you put the settings way up you have more cance of distortion and possibility of ruining the speakers.

Now if you do add a subwoofer or something else then you may need to turn up the settings to equal out the sound compared to the sub, but still don't reccomend turning it to max. if you feel you have to turn it up that high then you probably need to work on getting better speakers or an amp.

As for the Balance I left it center since the speakers are higher up and not covered by you leg like in most cars.

Fader I usually put it 1or 2 notches to the front. This is beacause in most sound staging. it is just that, which means the music is coming for the stage, which is in front of you where the band or singer is placed.

Now if you are talking about watching a movie in surround sound then that is a different story.

Hope this helps.
