I know people tend to say that it's personal preference, but I was wondering how other people have set up their stereo unit to get the best out of them? I've got the standard T6.1 head unit, with upgraded Alpine SPC-106T61 speakers and Tweeters but it's only got the basic 3 options to change -...

Hi. Quite chuffed with this and wanted to share. I installed some rear speakers (Focal RCX-100 4” Coaxial) with a view to adding them to my head unit. After monitoring my starter battery, and seeing it sit at about 12.3-12.4V, I then wished I could run sound off the leisure battery to avoid...
