Hey folks,

So I'm trying to get these Infinity Kappa 60.5cs components I just installed to sound a little better. Do any of you know what the difference is between flat and contour setting on the crossover? Thanks in advance.

i got those for my gf for xmas..in my opinon the contour setting sound better, and her components is running off of the HU

i believe the flat setting is for people with amp and equilizer. but dont quote me on that...

I agree.

Okay, I have an amp that is powering the components but no equalizer. Maybe I should be more specific in my question. What is the sound difference between flat and contour. Will contour give me more or less midbass? Cleaner highs? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I seriously don't know the difference.

for my gf car..it gave a more cleaner highs and stronger bass in contour setting. hope that help

According to Infinity, "Custom Contour, if enabled, will reduce the midrange output from the system, resulting in more perceived bass and high frequency."

by the way, I have mine set to flat without an amp or eq. They sound great just using the eq in my head unit.

I tried the contour, but missed the mids that it took away, so I switched to flat.

With just about everything audio related, you'll get your most natural sound if you are dealing with a flat response.

Yea, I have to agree. I tried both settings and flat sounds best to me too. Thanks for all the help.
