I am looking for someone with a good listening set of ears in the NJ/ PA regin to come an listen to my car audio system. I think it sounds great and i know the saying if it sounds good to you than its good enought. But I want more and I want someone to let me know what I should do next. The car is a 2003 honda civic coupe ex with polk momo's all around. Looking forward to hearing from someone.

    why not ask here what it is you're looking for and we can try to help? I'm sure we could give suggestions without hearing it. Listening to the system would help for imaging, speaker placement, install...

    What I hear with my ears could be different from what you are expecting to hear with yours... tweak and dial

    That is true....at the same time though, what a person may think sounds very good could still benefit from a trained ear.

    Met him at CES. Very down to earth and can definitely help you out. MOMOs all the way around? My first suggestion would be to turn off any rear speakers you may have.

    Cody is right about the rear speakers.

    if you feel that you need to have rear fill make sure that you have the sound faded mostly to the front speakers. Like to the point that you can't even really tell that the rear speakers are even on.

    1. CDs are recorded in stereo, not quadraphonic.
    2. They guy knows his stuff and can help you tune your car, why else would we recommend him?

    You came on here asking for someone in your area "with a good listening set of ears". Why in the heck do you think we recommended him. To me it's extremely obvious why...... :rolleyes:
