My deck has this feature (clarion DXZ855MP) and I would like to know what it is and what it does if anyone has a little tutorial website thing on it.

 

try it out to see what it does, maby its just like a lpf? i think its the filter width.

 

Although I am not familiar with your particular deck, Q is usually a term to describe the width of an equalized frequency. For example the higher the Q factor the more narrow the range of frequencies being affected, and the lower the Q the wider the frequency being affected. In a graphical sense this would represent the slope of the bump in output. Check out this tutorial from JL Audio to get a better understanding of what I am trying to explain.

 

did you read the manual?

this explains it perfectly thanks!!

manual didnt say much of anything about it just that the Q is adjustable between 1, 1.25,1.5,2. pretty useless if you dont already know what it is.
