New system installed. Sounds good to me but....

So I just got done installing a new system in my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It consists of the following:

Kenwood kdc bt555u

Rockford fostgate 551s

Rockford fostgate 4600x

2 Rockford Fostgate he 12s

Stock rear door speakers

Memphis audio 6.1 in front doors

Memphis audio 2.75 dash speakers

I'm working on getting it tuned abd think I have everything pretty closely dialed in as far as my ears can tell but here is my question. I've never really had an aftermarket stereo system before so this is new to me. Is it just my system or do all systems require audio setting changes when switching from sing to sing our album to album? It seems like when I listen to my audio files on shuffle I Ann constantly having to adjust levels to get the perfect sound. By the time I'm done I've missed half the song. It kind of drives me nuts and is dangerous because I'm usually driving while doing all this adjusting.

oh yeah, every song is different. You can tune your car to sound perfect for one song then it'll sound like crap on another. but you shouldn't be adjusting every time a new song comes on lol. just get it to a good spot and leave it alone.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Also depends if u listen to many different styles of music. You can get a genre to sound pretty good as a whole, but say you switch from a rap song to a heavy metal song, your system won't be tuned to suit the new instruments and tones played more frequently. Tune to what u listen to the most, and leave it alone.

Alot of the older music is produced much better then the new ones. Producers now a days have no clue on quality of music. I have the same problem so welcome to the club. Go JEEP!. They over produce it and then it sounds like shit!
