So I have a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe with the Bose sound system. Wish I didn't have that but I'm trying to make due with what I have. I switched out the head unit and now have the Kenwood DNX-5120 but left the stock speakers and stock amp. I'm now adding a Kicker 07VCVR122 subwoofer being powered by a Kicker ZX300.1 amplifier. I realize with this addition my equalizer and tone settings will all thrown out of whack. I know websites exist where it's possible to enter your speaker setup and it can give you ideal equalizer and tone settings to get those most of your system. Anyone that can give me some assistance in this area will be much appreciated!

 

in my 10 years of this hobby ive never seen a website like that.

Plenty of sites will give you guidelines, but there are to many variables to say its the "best". Speakers used, placement, and car shape all play a role in tuning also.

Using an EQ is always something that needs to be done with caution.

I have a Kenwood DNX8120 and have the eq set to flat. Ive messed with the setting but found flat to be the best sounding for me.

Its possible that you like a little more upper tweet or maybe a bit more mid, its really up to you, thats why I say I never seen a site that will give your optimal settings

safest way to do it is either leave it flat, like Blaze said
Also, DON'T PUMP the EQ up to max on anything

 

thanks guys. Much appreciated!
