Run a search of the forum for this. I'm positive I've answered this before. If you have no luck let me know.

picture this...the numbers represent your speakers. you sit closest to one.  what you need to do is  measure the distance between your head and each speaker. which ever is farthest away, it will probably be either 2 or 4 depending on your car, is you reference. that is set at a delay time of 0.00 milli seconds. you will have to figure each delay time individually.  hope im not too late to help.

now, here's your macig equation.   A=(B-C)/34  A: delay time in milliseconds                                     

              1                      2                                            B: distance from you to furthest speaker (reference speaker) in cm

                                                                                     C: distance from listening position to speaker to be adjusted in cm

              3                     4
