When it was in my wife's Saturn, it sounded amazing - but now that I have it in my Rodeo, I can hear many acoustical differences that the built-in EQ just isn't capable of compensating for. It still sounds good, just not as good.

I'm really looking for a way to decrease midrange and increase midbass - sub bass and highs are excellent but midbass is muddy and midrange too prominant.

Thanks for the quick response - I think I know what direction I need to go now knowing that the H701 will need external amps.
