A few installation questions. - DIYMA Car Audio Forum

I did that when i first got a unit with time alignment. Thats not the right way to set it. For each addition of another (whatever unit of measurement your head unit uses whether its inches or milliseconds).. you delay the sound coming out of the speaker by that much more. So if your left speaker is 30 inches from your head and right speaker is 50 inches and you set the delay just as that on the head unit.. it would just make the alignment off that much more. The way i do it now is i measure how far my farthest speaker is from my head (in my case its my subs which are about 70-80 inches. cant really remember) and write that number down and leave the delay for that channel at 0. Then move on to the left mid. Measure the distance from the speaker to your head (in my case about 30 inches). Take that number and subtract it from the distance of the furthest speaker. Whatever the answer is, that is what you set the delay as. (if your head unit is in milliseconds you have more work to do.. take that number and multiply it by 1.356 which is how far sound travels in 1 millisecond. The answer of that will be how many milliseconds of delay you would put in.).. continue with the rest of your speakers. On your mids try reversing the phase when your done as the time alignment might put them out of phase. Good luck!

*btw im not even sure if this is the correct or best way but it sure as wors damn good for me lol*
