What model radio do I have?

rps · 06-11-2009, 03:58 PM

I have a Business CD and apparently have 10 speakers including 2 subs that are active. I have been unable to find a setting for concert etc and wonder if I am looking in the right place. Anyone have an idea what model radio I have or if it is a DSP?

if you have the one with the subs, you just have to cycle through the settings by pressing the musical note button a few times. this will take you through: bass, treble, balance, fader, and eventually DSP Jazzclub is the one i have selected.

if you really do not have the subs, then you do not have the DSP settings. you can always post the last 7 of your VIN and i can run a look up to confirm.

IIRC there are 3 systems:

Standard: 6 speakers - no subs.
Hi-Fi: - 10 speakers, no subs (but 4 woofers), analog amp.
Top Hi-Fi - 10 speakers, 2 of which are subs, and a digital amp.

Only the top hi-fi has equalization settings using the music note button as described above.

^ Yeah the only settings I use are the "Jazzclub" or "off". The Jazzclub setting really accentuates the bass (great because I added aftermarket subs), the others alter the sound in a very unnatural manner.
If yours says "business" on the deck itself, you likely have the Carver/Premium system like I do. Yes it has a total of 10 speakers including the dual 6" subs.
