aside from the "automatic volume control versus speed"option...

i think my factory LX deck did some whacky eq stuff.. like changing the frequency curve as I changed the volume. Stuff that engineers may consider "intelligent" for use in a car.. you know.. boost the bass and treble at lower volumes.. kill some bass once you crank the volume up high. Maybe I'm crazy, but that's something that I noticed... I didn't care for it.

i ALSO noticed that with the SAME speakers, I was able to get much more treble using my aftermarket alpine deck. Maybe the gain at the given frequency has more boost range on the alpine, or is in a 'sweeter' spot for these factory speakers.

I'm kinda torn. I really like the amount of mid-bass that my factory speakers have (when powered by around 16 watts rms each from my alpine) .. and I KNOW that my Infinity kappa's won't come close to that amount of bass once i put them into the doors... and I'll be left with the same old mid-bass hole that I used to have in my last installation using the same speakers.

sigh.

.. please.. comment.
