For SQ, its your ears that you have to impress. For everyday use, I would start with the EQ flat and adjust from there. Play around with it, there is no real wrong answer (aside from a V or the smiley face is popular too....LOL) Bob, has more expirience in actual tuning so he can probably offer some good advice and probably can point you to some trouble spots the Contour may include



With the cars interior and the speakers position, a smiley face may still be right. With a flat RTA, if you know you want to add presence, you boost the 1500-4000 hz range, you want a more airy sound accentuate the treble. You want to make it sound like [censored], use a teenagers system as a reference.
