Equalizer settings for 2LT Bose sound system?
I'm not into audio... found a nice thread discussing which mode is best (said to use normal) but nothing about equalizer settings. I like electronic (EDM), 90s rock, 80s everything and classic hip-hop.
is there a good general setting? I want to set it and forget it.

Set in the garage for 30 minutes with my daughter listening to Pandora Tiësto station and came up with the following:
Normal Setting +2 forward
Trebble +6
Mid +2
Bass -3
Worked great on all Pandora, but was lacking bass on the radio stations.

There was a post similar to this and the general consensus for what people prefer on the Bose side....let me see if I can track it down.

On my premium system (w/ subwoofer and surround) I like:
Fader +2
Treble +8
Midrange -3
Bass +1
Many have commented it's the mid-range that makes things sound muddy if turned up above midpoint. In addition, it sounds better to me with the Bose processor thingie, set to "normal" as opposed to "centerpoint" or "driver."

I got it. I was a joke. I read it quick and laughed.
I have no problem jamming to a little Sir Mix A Lot. "Oh my god Becky Look at Her Butt"
I actually just did that and people were laughing and singing along at the stoplight.

I keep the bass cranked around 3/4, mid right at half, and treb slightly below half.
Now, get yourself a copy of PJ's Even Flow and crank that sh#t....the clarity is staggering, and at the same time you can feel that music in your bones - no lie
If you want to see just how hard that subwoofer hits, I have yet to find a song that tops Nelly's Here Comes the Boom. It makes it hard to see straight, lol.

Hey....we can dance if we want to...we can leave haters behind...cause Woody don't dance...and if they don't dance well they're, no friends of mine. 
Don't make me bust a Eurythemics cap in dat a$$
(How's that for destroying any semblance of sentence structure....if my 3rd grade English teacher saw that, she'd have a stroke)

Two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.... Eminem..
So, Bose auto pilot off
Normal position
T+3
B-1
M+1
Works for most things, But when Marshall, or DRE pops up, you're gonna have to cut the bass...

IMO the biggest factor in sound quality is the quality of the source. I have loaded over 1500 songs on a USB using Windows Media Player. I rip the music to MP3 format and use the highest bit rate. The resulting sound is very good and I consider myself a fairy critical listener.
Saying that though, for any given source I have found the following setting most pleasing to me.
Fader, whatever you like. Would you rather be surrounded by sound or a bias towards the front or rear. Saying that though I thing the quality of the speakers in the front (except the center dash) are much better than the rear. So I would never put more sound from the rear than from the front.
Base, Treble, and Mid range. I keep a somewhat large range between the base / treble versus the midrange. What I mean is that the midrange setting is always at least half the total scale less than the base and treble. This emphasizes the highest and lowest audio frequencies.
For most music I set the base and treble to 3/4 and the midrange to 1/4 (1/2 being center).
On my C6 I actually disconnected the center dash speaker. This improved the overall sound because that speaker was crap on the C6. I have not tried this on my C7 yet but I might try it.
