cichlidfort Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 nope but sometimes songs on ipods are boosted making them seem louder That must be it because some songs are louder on my iPod while some are not.

Shinju Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 When I play CDs they don't seem as loud as my iPod. Does an iPod put out a better signal or something? Do you have your Ipods EQ on or off? If its on its going to bring out the sound more depending on what preset you have it on. I dont think the Ipod its self is louder then a CD but some discs are recorded/burnt differently then others. When I have my Ipod hooked up to the USB port on my deck (running the Ipods EQ off) It sounds a tad muffled to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptcary Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 According to Steve, Ipod and head unit eq should be set flat, do all your tuning with a seperate eq from there.
