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

BASICSVolvonut: After Setting Equalizer 12/22/06
BASS(+/-) + 2-3 +1-2
TREBLE(+/-) + 4-5+1-2
BALANCE(+/-) - -
FADER(+/-) 2-3 to Rear 1.5 to rear
CENTER(+/-) --
SURROUND(+/-) ~80% to max~ 60% to max

Equalizer Front
60 Hz(+/-) +20%
200 Hz(+/-) +40%
800 Hz(+/-) +40%
3 kHz(+/-) +60%
12 kHz(+/-) +80%

Equalizer Rear
60 Hz(+/-) +80% trying to put a little more bass in the rear
200 Hz(+/-)+60% "
800 Hz(+/-) +40%
3 kHz(+/-) +20%
12 kHz(+/-) +20%

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!
