Tips for Optimum Performance
Use five identical speakers if possible. This assures that the tonal qualities of each channel will be
similar, and differences can easily be corrected with equalization. If it is not possible to have the
center channel identical to the other speakers, use the closest substitute. The quality of the center
channel speaker will have a great effect on the overall sound quality of the system.
After the 5 main channels are adjusted to match in level, you may then experiment to find the
balance between channels that works best in your system. Depending on the location of the driv-
ers, you may find that reducing or raising the gain on some channels produces a more pleasing
effect.
In some systems a reduction of high frequency output of the rear speakers may improve the overall
sound quality. Our suggestion is to begin with a slight cut at about 2-4khz, end with about a 6 dB
cut at 20khz. This may be achieved with outboard equalization.
If your system has subwoofer output that is controlled from the dashboard of the car you may send
the subwoofer signal directly to the subwoofer amplifier(s). The RFQ5000 has no effect on low fre-
quencies and the subwoofer outputs are for use in systems with no front controlled subwoofer
output.
