EQ settings and what they do

Question

My car has a 13-band EQ (40 Hz, 63 Hz, 100 Hz, 160 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.0 kHz, 1.6 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 4.0 kHz, 6.3 kHz, 10 kHz, and 16 kHz.)

Could someone please explain what each of those bands means? What do they correspond to? (highs, mids, lows, bass, vocals, different instruments, etc.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

These are different frequency bands. Low numbers are low frequencies, meaning lows and basses, while high numbers are highs.

Basically you have lows, mediums, and highs, with some more steps in between for a more precise control.
