I have a Auto EQ that does all the cutting and boasting for me, as for Bass with 2 10' TDX speakers I have more bass then an A-bomb.....

I have used both the Auto Eq curve from my last radio and I have created a New one..with the Eq's built in Pink/white noise generator, I don't think its a setting I think ether the empeg or the encoder is coloring the music or cutting off frequencys not sure which.

I download lame last night so I will give it a shot.
