    I know sound is highly subjective but what is a good general setting. I’m so bad at this. Let’s say center is 0 and far left is -5 and far right is 5. Thanks!

    Does it sound good to you? If yes, perfect. If not, you'd be hard pressed to make the stock speakers and head unit sound better than good.

    But thats probably about what I had i mine set at. Alittle less bass maybe.

    Put everything in the middle and then adjust your mid up and down. Here is the key, do not listen for sound quality, use your mid to visual the height of the music. Find the height you like. After that, adjust your bass and treble to your liking.

    The stock speakers are atrocious. No adjustment can compensate for that limitation.

    Whatever sounds good to you. What we think doesn't matter.

    I cut a little out of the mid. Again, it is subjective and you should choose your settings based on taste and what you listen to.
