of the audio spectrum that is an octave above your sub-bass frequencies
and several octaves below your midrange. Most autosound systems have
too much midbass due to the fact that speakers mounted in the doors
or kick panels cause resonance’s or peaks in the response curve. These
peaks in the midbass can actually mask or block sounds in the all-impor-
tant midrange area causing your system to sound dull or lifeless.

Treble: 3KHz and Up – If midrange is the cake, then these high or
upper frequencies are considered the frosting. Many autosound systems
start a gradual decline in this area which is why speaker placement is
very important. The DQDX only gives you a few controls in this area
because too much boosting can really make a speaker sound un-natural.
