That's what I do anyway

Agreed. You can change the aux volume from the menus to get the iPod sound level to be the same as your radio stations or CDs. As for settings, I tend to run treble +1, bass +1/0/-1 depending on what I'm listening to and how loud I'm running, but I have the fader at -4 (towards the back). This was the biggest benefit, especially for running loud. It seems like the back speakers can take a bit more before they distort on bass than the fronts, so this way you can get the bass and volume from the rears without overdriving the fronts. I got the idea from another thread on here somewhere.
