ah yes, the brain is wonderful... or horrible depending on how you look at it at adjusting, and then forgetting.

I generally end up playing with the balance in any car I own, will favor the right side by a click or two... really depends on how many clicks I can go obviously. There's an added benefit to playing with the balance too. Human ears perceive differences in volume from one side to the other as being a difference in path length. So, if your right ear is hearing something louder, your brain will think you are situated to the right of center. It's kinda messed up, because we are (at least in North America) sitting on the left side, but hearing more from the right side. Using the balance can help with creating a center.


I'm not a huge fan of spending thousands of dollars on car stereo (anymore) either, however, I go half crazy with quality stereo withdrawals. To be happy, I just need a crisp clean mid, a soft smooth tweeter, and a two midbass drivers. To be honest. There are a few single 6.5" component sets that I know I could run off a 100x2amp and never have strong desires for more.

you might be amazed at was $30 in wires and $150 in speakers and amplifiers can do for your sound.
