Ignore what others think is good....in particular in a car. I'd bet no one you run into will have a "good" system. If you want a reference I'd start with home audio. Of course the most cost effective home audio is a good set of headphones. I personally have some AKG cans and some custom molded in-the-ear monitors which both absolutely destroy ANY car I have ever heard. All that being said, it doesn't matter if headphones sound better or worse to you, what matters is what YOU like. The benefit of a headphone demo though is you will hear all the dynamics you might be missing which will let you of course then compare. Do beware, you are heading down a slippery slope of no satisfaction ever once you start to really analytically listen. While it is slippery it is also a great ride though so don't be scared. I sold my PRS almost 5 years ago. The EQ on it is graphic and my memory says it is rather easy to find...more so than the crossover points. 16 bands of Left and 16 bands of right. Our interest is only in the bands that are not at zero.

Thanks ! Those bars were thrown on because when the back seat is in , the seat has no real support on the bottom . Im waiting on a custom ported box from High Output Enclosures , so I won't worry about these sealed boxed for now .

Those enclosures look nice and clean, the pipe fittings need the galv ground off and painted/ coated the same as the enclosures. But, the look like they fit like a glove on the contour of the floor. Super nice!

Is that the settings the autosetup chose? Did it do some wacky looking eq up top? Your logic was almost sound. If there was no windshield, dash, drivers window, etc then on axis would be golden. It is shocking how much of the sound in a car is reflected.

The first answer is the obvious one. There is no such thing as box rise. The box will surely have an impedance curve but this means a rise and a fall. While this curve will definitely mean your amp is delivering different amounts of power along the curve it is not rise. It is really sad this is a misnomer in the car audio world. Stems from some history in single note competition. A fart box will surely also have a curve. When playing a single note you are only concerned with the impedance at that note in that particular install. That isn't rise either, but it is higher than nominal in almost every fart box so some moron keyed the term box rise and started to mislead noobs all over the internet. Beware of nonsense spewed at other forums. They are full of people who repeat what they have heard and state "rules of thumb" which none of are correct in car audio. The exception being that as a rule of thumb you can discount everything you read on other car audio sites.
