That sounds great! I’ll DM you about setting something up.

Yep, basically just copy the first picture of EQ settings.

That’s interesting. As I mentioned in my R1S Elevation post, I used a target curve designed for home theaters, which might explain why we want more bass boost in our cars than our theaters. That said, I’m puzzled by Linus’s cuts at 2 and 4 kHz. That area definitely sounded recessed to me and...

Yes, these settings would still help a Bluetooth source. While a Bluetooth signal contains less information (I.e., resolution) than what a built-in app provides, it shouldn’t have a significantly difference balance of frequencies compared to the original source (other than toward the very top...

I’d recommend the same. Start with the recommendations above and adjust to taste. Adjusting from the default EQ by ear and arriving at maximum performance is very difficult, even when you’re aware of the acoustic and psychoacoustic effects of your changes. That’s because changes are...

Posted my recommendations for improving the R1T Meridian's sound system here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/how-to-improve-a-rivian-r1t%E2%80%99s-meridian-sound-system-with-simple-eq-changes-equipment-measured-tests-results.25545/ Hope it helps!

This is a sister post to How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes. TLDR; Flatten your EQ by using the “Default” setting or the reset icon. Turn off 3D Surround Sound. Use these EQ settings: 63 Hz -3 notches, 125 Hz -3, 1 kHz +3, 2 kHz +3. Use Tidal or...

@RivianBowerbird, thought you might get a kick out of this =)

My wife and I recently took our R1S to MERUS Adventure Park in northern TX to overland and offroad. MERUS CEO, Dirk van Reenen, saw our rig and wanted to see how the Rivian compared to built-up ICE rigs on difficult terrain. He and I took the R1S through tough off-camber sections and steep...

Update: @RivianBowerbird brought his lovely Canyon Red R1T with Meridian system over today. We measured it, talked through a lot of stuff, and made several adjustments. The Meridian sounded better than the Elevation out of the box to my ears, but I think the adjustments made a noticeable...

Meridian vs. Elevation Update: I looked at @bhlackey 's measurements and EQ recommendations and found nothing concerning other than a puzzling amount of subass. It seems that the R1T Meridian system can output lower bass at a higher level (albeit at a very short listening distance) than an EDM...

Finally got stuff settled. Will be DM'ing @RivianBowerbird to set up a time.

Thanks for this thread. I’ve been vacillating between matte and gloss ppf for my FG R1S. I love the matte look on most cars—particularly black Lambos, which look like the Batmobile. But matte never looked good on FG to my eyes when I see the rare one driving around town. These photos helped me...

Much appreciated! I'm already downloading Tidal playlists for the trip. It would have been a real bummer to get there and not be able to bump some tracks.

Is that because it doesn't fully charge in its charging bay?

Unfortunately, not yet. When it rains, it pours... But the good news is part of my being busy comes from preparing to take my R1S overlanding next week in Palo Duro Canyon! It'll be the first time I use the Rivian Speaker. We'll see how it sounds =) I'll hook up with bhlackey and RivianBowers...

Nice work, buddy! That adjusted response looks great. I’m looking forward to hearing it in @RivianBowerbird ’s R1T Meridian.

Yup, I gave @bhlackey a few pointers but he a did a good job on his own. As he mentioned, I have his data file and will look for anything else worth mentioning. I plan to measure @RivianBowerbird ’s R1T Meridian system to hear the Meridian system myself and see if I come away with anything...

Glad to hear the settings helped. Do you find you need to crank the volume only when you are driving? If so, that might be caused by noise in the bass region caused by mechanical vibration through the car frame that we compensate for with higher volume. As others have done, I find myself...

That’s generous of you! Let me see what weekends are open on my side and I'll DM you.
