I just bought a Pioneer FH-P8000BT receiver and installed it in my 2003 Mustang. I have the MACH audio system in my 'stang, with everything still original with the exception of the new Pioneer receiver.
I'm having a little issue trying to fine tune the equalizer to make the sounds more crisp and balances. I'm getting a bit more bass and low-end distortion which is drowning out the highs a bit. I must admit that while I have an ear for a good sound, I am not very familiar with setting equalizer bands. I currently have the following settings in the equalizer bands:
50HZ — 0
125HZ — +2
315HZ — -3
800HZ — +1
2KHZ — +3
5KHZ — +5
12.5KHZ — +3
These setting seem to have brought my highs and a little of the mids out a bit but it still doesn't sound right. If you have (or had) the "stock" Mach audio system in your car, please let me know if you have an idea of a setting that you feel might get the most out of the Pioneer FH-P8000BT in my '03 Mustang.
Thanks in advance my fellow 'Stang owners! Oh... and one more thing... DarkFireGT, your blue interior lights look bad ass!!!
