Couldn't you do the same thing (to a degree) with the fader and balance controls?

Just curious.
Fader and balance will allow you to center the volume so it is balanced in all directions to your head but will not compensate for the minute delays in when the sound itself hits your ears when coming from speakers at unequal distances to your head. Sitting in the drivers seat, sound from the passenger door speaker hits your ears a fraction of a second after the same sound would hit your ears coming from the driver door speaker. The delaying head units would hold back the sound from the driver door speaker just long enough so it hits your ears the same time as the sound from the passenger door. It's a pretty slick trick and one I never knew they had. Something to look for if I ever upgrade the systems in my cars.

You can tell the lack of craftsmanship by the wrinkles in the duct tape.
