I have a set of Dynaudio 240 gt for the front stage with the woofers in the kicks and the tweeters down by them facing up at me. I also have a set of 5.5 components in the rear deck. Should I time alighn just the fronts and have the rears for fill or time alighn all of them, even though the rears are going to be lower.
Any ideas. thanks

Ideally you want to time align all the drivers, for the best effect. The optimal solution involves tweaking relative timing not only l/r but front-rear in order to move the soundstage to the front of the car.

the volume(gains) is louder on the fronts than the rears. The rears are just "fills".

doesnt matter how "loud" each speaker is, it still applies...

Time alignment doesn't affect how loud the speakers play. If the rears overwhelm the fronts, lower the gains on the rears. That's a separate issue.

When I time-aligned all four corners using the Alpine 7894 HU time correction, I like it best with balance and fade adjusted to zero (center).
