How to set the re-Q bass restauration function
Initial settings : Turn the re-Q control (11) to minimum (counterclockwise). Put the Sub EQ control (12) in
the middle. You can feel a click.
On the factory head-unit, play a bass track where the factory bass drop is easy to identify. Set the volume
at the exact volume level the bass starts to drop.
Raise the re-Q control (11) until the Peak LED (13) starts to flash.
Play with the Sub EQ control (12) to adjust the bass level you like.
The bass drop of your factory head-unit is now more than conpensated. You can enjoy your fantastic new
sound system...
