Nice equipment list though.

My question was about setting up the 701, will be
biamping the front components. The 701 has four
outs to the front can time correction and
crossover be set for each of the four channels.
And the follow up question anybody in Fl, shop or individual that is available for help setting SQ system can handle the install need help tuning system. Thanks for any input

You can use time alignment on all 4 of the front output channels.

Front 1 will be your tweeters.

I would put the rear 6x9's on the Front output.

Rear put your front midbass drivers.


I would do the above because of the equalizer in the 701. The equalizer is for the front, rear and subwoofer. You don't really care that much about the rear fill. For 99% of your SQ listening I'd bet you turn it off anyway. So doing the above allows you to tune the tweeters---even below the crossover point, without effecting the front midbass. You put the front midbass on the rear so that you can tune the rear equalizer without effecting the tweeters. Doing that gives you greater flexibility.


the only negative to doing that is it ruins 5.1 (which you are not doing without a center channel) and when you watch movies you are going to have to change some crossover points and other settings to be able to hear the dialogue.

Tuning wise for SQ though--that set up works better.


Don't forget to turn off the MX feature and other "self tuning" crap the 701 has by default turned on. Due that before you do anything else.

I would ask Steve Head (he goes by Audionutz on the forums). He is in Ocala. Look at http://www.dynamicautoacoustics.com on the forums. He is there.

I've noticed that when I play a DVD my volume seems way too low - is this related to my 701? I've got the MX turned off. It hasn't been a big deal to me because I RARELY play a DVD but............

There is a setting buried in the menus for DVD level and the PCM level would also effect that.

Be careful though it will jack with your regular tune some. So turn it up for DVDs and then back down for regular music.

The 701 is not linear in its changes, so you have to be careful increasing the levels for real listening and for DVDs/play music.

Got everything installed except the tweeters wanted
to try different mounting positions velcro and extra
wire for now. The Dynaudio tweeters are pretty
big. Probably the A pillar but that is going to take some work to install them there. Now ill be
a matter of tuning.
