what is ( bass- Q 1.0, Q 1.25, Q 1.5, Q 2.0) (mid- Q 0.75, Q1.0, Q1.25) on a head unit?


Recommended Posts

so i just got a JVC KD-S37 head unit, it has some on it i have never seen. on the tone part on the head unit were u turn the bass,mid,treb,sub, .... u can turn the hz and also some numbers like ( bass- Q 1.0, Q 1.25, Q 1.5, Q 2.0) (mid- Q 0.75, Q1.0, Q1.25)

(treb- Q fix) and i dont know how what to set them to!

To my understanding each number means how wide or narrow of a bandwidth you want the desired component to play. 0.75 being the smallest and 2.0 being the biggest.

I think i am more confused now. Is what you are saying is that the "Q" factor is a way of saying crossover slope? like -12db, -18db, -24db. Like the "Bass" level at +3 with a "Q" of 2.0 would boost a wider range of frequencies off center than a "Q" of .75?

No I don't think it has to do with the slope. Ok, say you set your bass frequency at 40 hertz and put the q factor at 0.75 the bandwidth will extended at both sides a certain amount of frequencies. So putting in a bigger q factor (like 2.0 or w/e) extends the bandwidth at both sides even more than the 0.75.

Example. Bass frequency at 40 q factor at 0.75 the bandwidth would be approximately 35-45 with 40 being the center frequency. Raising the q factor to 1.0 will allow it to play from 30-50. 1.25 will extend it to 25-55.... And so on and so on.

well this is confuseing lol .... so how do u go about setting the Q factor, to know whats best for your setup? do u use this?

So then i do get it. Good, i always set mine at 1.0, but now i can tinker more and see if i can improve my sq a bit. Thanks
