Help with equalizer settings and understanding what they are..
I recently had my Sony MEX70BT go south on me. I replaced it with a Sony MEX GS620BT (basically the same unit with newer but not necessarily better features IMO). I need help understanding and setting the custom equalizer. My bike has a Biketronics 75 watt amp with Kenwood 5 1/4 speakers. I know the speakers are small but they have worked well and they are all I can use right now as I have frenched in turn signals in my fairing and can't fit 6.5's.
On my last unit, I received to set the base settings to 0. This helped a lot and I could play volume at 35 and hear the music clear and fine. I can't find the rest of the info I received. This new stereo has 10 bands under the Custom setting and I have no idea what is base, treble, etc (High, Mid, Low?). I tried it on the preset EQ of Rock but it sounded like crap just like the original MEX70 did. Playing at upper volume level distorts greatly, due to base I assume? I can't get the settings out of the old stereo as it is locked up.
These are the 10 adjustable bands of the custom equalizer setting:
Band 1 - 32HZ
Band 2 - 63HZ
Band 3 - 125HZ
Band 4 - 250HZ
Band 5 - 500HZ
Band 6 - 1K HZ
Band 7 - 2K HZ
Band 8 - 4K HZ
Band 9 - 8K HZ
Band 10 - 16K HZ
All are at 0 DB now and adjust to -6 to +6
There are other settings also AAV (advanced auto volume), C Audio (Clear Audio), Position ( L ft, R ft, Center ft), DSO (Dynamic stage organizer), DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine), HPF, HPF Freq, HPF SLOP, BTA Vol.
Any help with these settings is appreciated, they are Greek to me. Which ones are base, Treble etc? I mostly listen to an ipod with rock, blues, country etc. I do remember that when I got the base out of the old stereo it helped a lot.
Nothing is easy anymore. The handlebar switches don't work either at the moment. Working with Biketronics on that.
Thanks,

Play with the EQ till you like the way it sounds,,,,,you can't break it, left side of EQ is Bass - and the middle of the the EQ is your mid range and the right side is the Treble.
Youtube is a good place to look ,,,ton of videos,,,,,Good Luck you'll get it

Thanks. Found a youtube video as you suggested and gave me starting points for the presets to play with on the custom.
