[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8733958, member: 675210"] It sounds weird to me now to not use T/A. At home I sit right in the middle of my front stage be it at my computer or my home theater so no time alignment needed. Left and right get to me at the same time. In the car, I agree with the above statement, if you ride alone most or all of the time then time align it to your seat. If not, make more than one T/A preset, one for your seat, one for all seats. My opinion is if you go to a concert, the band plays on a stage in front of you, the best seats are front row center. So to me it just makes sense to put them in front of me and center the sound as best I can. Nothing wrong with not time aligning it though if you want to use all speaker positions the vehicle came with. One of the best sounding car stereos I owned was not time aligned. It had a single Kicker 5 channel amp, 2 Kicker comp 10's and 4 components sets (Kenwood Excelon - with neo magnets) with a Clarion Pro Audio DXZ715 head unit. I think T/A would have elevated it even higher though. [/QUOTE]
