Default Car Stereo question, for the gurus...

Just a quick question for the car stereo gurus out there.

Had my system in my car for about a year now, but last week Subaru serviced it and of course disconnected the battery, so ive lost all my settings on my deck (bass, treble, EQ etc). Ive managed to get the basics back to how they were before, but theres just some small little fine-tuning settings that i dont know what to do with.

So.....was hoping someone can maybe give me some pointers in the right direction.

The set-up:
Pioneer deck, with sub control
Pioneer front and rear speakers
Pioneer 2channel amp for the sub, and 4 channel for the speakers.

Now the setting i cant figure out is part of the "EQ-EX" controls, if your familiar with Pioneer decks. Theres a bass and a treble control. Both have a frequency option (bass is currently "100", treble is "10k") and then you can turn them up or down.

Anyone have any idea what these should be set as??

I would take it back to Audiocom and get them to play with it, but they're useless and wont get back to me about it, so thought someone here should know the answer.

Any help is appreciated!

Bass 80Hz, Treble 12.5kHz. These are the centre frequencies and mt recommendation for where they should be set. Put your bass and treble levels back to zero, make sure the amps are dialled in properly and play with the level settings from there. Hope this helps somewhat
