Equalizer recommendation

Can anyone recommend a decent cheap graphic EQ (under $50). I'm especially intested in control of the higher frequencies (10k - 20k). I've found a bunch from companies like pyramid and rockwood, but i'm a bit hesitent to buy from these manufacturers cuz I can't even find their web sites.

I wouldn't get either of those. Pyramid isn't a good brand. Rockwood is so dumb. They try to combine two famous names to suck you in (Rockford & Kenwood).

What makes you think you need an EQ? From your profile it shows you have really nice stuff. I wouldn't think you need an EQ.

I get the impression you are amping the 6x9's in the rear and running the front Infinity Coax's off deck power. I would most certainly amp the fronts and not the rears. That should help the sound a lot.

I would also get that MB Quart sub out of the bandpass box. Get a custom made ported box. It should make it sound so so much better.

I haven't updated my profile in a while... suppose I should. I've got my kappa's running off a US Acoustic, but they still are a bit bright for my tastes.... but then again i'm pretty spoiled when it comes to audio stuff (My dad has a major recording studio). As for the bandpass - I hate it... way way way too much boom for me. First things first tho, should I just save up for a good EQ, and what is a good target price for an EQ? I don't want to break the bank since i'm trying to save up for some suspension pieces.
