Default Sony MEX-M70BT????
I’m new to this forum so I’m learning how it works. I have a Sony mex-m70bt head unit on my 2004 EG and I just installed a 500 watt amp with 4 hertz energy-165 speaker. The problem I’m having is that I can’t find the treble setting anywhere on head unit. It’s so high pitched you can’t stand it. Appreciate any help

What amp are you running?
Did you set any x-overs? If so, what are they at?

The Sony is more advanced that just “bass” and “treble”. You can adjust a variety of “treble” frequencies. I would try some of the preset settings and x-over on amp.

It sounds like just the tweeter is playing with no midrange at all.
