and balanced as possible. Too much boosting can
make you feel like you are listening to your sys-
tem in a tile bathroom. Not enough energy in the
midrange sounds empty and dry.
Treble: 3KHz and Up - If midrange is the
cake, then these high or upper frequencies are the
frosting. Many autosound systems start a gradual
decline in this area which is why speaker place-
ment is very important. The DQS only gives you a
few controls in this area because too much boost-
ing can really make a speaker sound unnatural.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power: If the blue display on your DQS will
not turn on, check to make sure that the power
wire and remote turn-on wires are connected
properly or a fuse has not blown.
System Sounds Unbalanced: Check your
graphic and parametric equalization settings to
make sure that one channel is not dramatically
different than another.
Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound
distorted or your speakers are moving way too
much, you should make sure you have your levels
matched properly and that your amplifier gains
are set at minimum. If this checks out okay, you
will want to look at your EQ controls to insure
that your boost levels are not overly boosted.
Still Sounds Distorted: Look at the frequen-
cies that you have selected for FrontPEQ1 and
FrontPEQ 2 and see how much boost or cut you
have applied. Then look at those same frequen-
cies on your Graphic EQ. If you have boost ap-
plied to the same frequencies on both types of
equalizers, there is a strong chance you are
overdriving your speakers and amplifiers at that
frequency.
Output Voltage LEDs Don’t Light Up: If
your system is playing music but none of the
output LED’s are on, there is a good chance that
the output voltage of your source unit is not that
strong. Now before you call us and say, “The guy
at the store said my radio has high-voltage out-
put”, you might want to face the fact that there is
“Engineering Voltage” and there is “Marketing
Voltage”. Without picking on any particular
source unit, remember that you do get what you
pay for.
