Adjusting the car audio equalizer, I find it easiest to start with the system presets. Most car systems offer options like Pop, Classical, and Jazz—just pick one that matches your favorite music style. For manual tuning, I usually reduce the bass slightly, typically boosting the 50-100Hz range by 2-4dB to avoid overpowering lows. Keep the midrange (500-2kHz) flat to prevent a dry sound, and slightly boost the highs—say, 1-2dB above 8kHz—for clearer vocals. Test with a familiar song, but keep the volume moderate while driving for safety. My tip: avoid steep frequency cuts to prevent distortion, and note that battery levels can affect performance, especially in older models.
