Equalizer Settings for 2006 Volvo s40 (Premium Sound)?
Hello s40 Owners and Audiophiles:
I am going to start to really play with the audio settings tonight in my 2006 Volvo s40. I have played with the basics slightly but I have not adjusted the equalizers for the front and rear yet. I do have the Premium Dolby Sound system, but no sub-woofer at this point.
I was wondering what you have yours set at and if you have any suggestions before I start playing tonight.
Let me know what all your settings are and the type of music you listen to...
Here is a little guide to help you label
BASICS
BASS(+/-)
TREBLE(+/-)
BALANCE(+/-)
FADER(+/-)
CENTER(+/-)
SURROUND(+/-)
Equalizer Front
60 Hz(+/-)
200 Hz(+/-)
800 Hz(+/-)
3 kHz(+/-)
12 kHz(+/-)
Equalizer Rear
60 Hz(+/-)
200 Hz(+/-)
800 Hz(+/-)
3 kHz(+/-)
12 kHz(+/-)
Let me know how many clicks off center each of your setting are...
Please take a minute and help me out...I will also be taking pics to post tonight. I have been researching mods, but only have 1 so far...I just put Silver 18" RS Limted MASE wheels on my s40...so check back tomorrow and I will have them up...
Thanks in advance!

Just click away! I'm probably one/two clicks to the right of center on everything; maybe more on the surround, if the recording is recent and can take advantage. On the equalizers, possibly my system is broken, but I can switch all I like, and when I return to that menu, it's back at the default setting. When I take it in for service, I'll have them check it. It is a nice sound system, but I haven't found any aftermarket mp3, satellite options, etc.

I can't locate the equalizer and it needs it for midrange.

Edit 12/22/06 - after locating the EQ I set the EQ and changed various settings as noted above within the original quote with my changes in bold. Thks for this post, it helped me get aquainted with the system, thinking I may do without the sub now. IMO this premium sound system is great, could use a sub but cost for OEM sub likelyputs it out of my reach.
