Theres the Alpine GOD! heh, so the controller isn't necessary, i was looking at the manual for the Alpine IVA-310and it was showing the EQ and the controls for it, it was nice that you could adjust each speaker. I have the Kicker KQ30 band EQ, if i was to add the Alpine PXA-H701 could I use both or would the Kicker One no longer be needed?

i was hoping fiatdale was going to show up... i haven't touched an Alpine product in almost 4 years lol...
i DO know which center channels he's talking about... the SBS-0715 is the pod that mounts on the dash, and the SBS-05DC is the DIN unit... i've looked at both on Crutchfield.com in the past when i was looking for a center channel, and i decided that i'm going to just do a custom center channel using some Kicker KS35 coaxials... i still don't have all of the gear that i'm going to need (audio/video switchers, still need another KQ30, etc), but as i get this project finished up, i'll keep you posted as to what equipment i finally settled on...
usaf or Fiat, either of you know if i can use both the PXA-H701 and the KQ30? Or would that throw things off? I know people use 2 or more KQ30's or KQ30 in the back and a KQ5 in the front of the car. I'm gonna shoot towards 5.1.

did you tune your EQ or did the shop?... if you did, remmeber how you had to turn all the gains and settings on your amps down, then program the EQ and all that good stuff?... i'm assuming that it wouldn't hurt to run the signal processor in conjunction with the EQ... you would just most likely have to turn all the EQ and amp settings down, adjust the processor, then readjust your EQ and finally your amps themselves... but i can't tell you for sure either way... if fiatdale can't help, i'll check into it later today and let you know what i've found out... but for now, i'm going to bed (working 2230-0630 sucks lol)...
The shop tuned my EQ, Yeah plz check into that for me if you could. Yea that would suck. I'm at work right now, then class from 10-12 then class again from 2-4 then work from 4-10, all at the college, so i'll be on all day long. Thanks alot, and thanks Fiat.
the old school Fosgate amps were some of the best amps ever made IMO... i have a 500.2 from '97 that is stable down to like .25 ohms... it's ridiculous... i still have a '96 Punch 50.2 in my garage that works as good as it did the day i bought it...
yea theyre freakin awsome. im happy i took them rather than bought new ones.
ive got a 250m powering my subs and theyre on a 1 ohm load wired in series parallel so its pulling around 600-650 i think
and for components theyre pushed by i think a 50.2 i forgot.
The PXA I believe will be a good replacement in total for your Kicker EQ's. You have a TON of EQing ability with the PXA, 31 band graphic Front Left, Right, Rear Left, Rear Right. All the time correction and crossover control you will ever need, and its got some kickass slopes to use too. Youll be happy with it, trust me. The nice thing is too if you go with the IVA-D310 and the PXA-H701, you can use optical between the two and the sound will be amazing. Drew I should give you my work IM so we can chat there haha
The only reason to keep the KQ30 is reason being its 9v pre-out instead of 4v from the Alpine. Will you notice a difference? Well depends on your amplifier / speaker setup as well. 4v is generally enough for most critics, but 9v is a shitload of power off of that
So could i run both then? Cause if you remember seeing my installing the KQ30 is apart of the trunk, heh. What is your IM at work, just PM it to me, i got class from 2-4 again today then work from 4-10.

If you do want to do both, I would say use the crossovers and time alignment on the PXA, have the EQ flat across the board (except for maybe sub and center, adjust those with the PXA), then use your KQ30 to EQ the fronts/rears. That way you still get the 9v output

^ i agree, after looking over the tech manuals for all of your gear, that sounds like it would be your best bet...
if you decide to just bypass your KQ30, you can always sell it to me and just have a plate with the Kicker or Honda symbol fabricated to cover up the mounting holes
There is gl@ss in my @SS...
