Best EQ...

What's the BEST equalizer that I can get? Money isn't too much of an object! I don't want one of those huge EQ's either....just one of those little slim ones!

An EQ is not just an an EQ [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

the EQX is an EQ with built in crossover.. the EQL is a regular 13 band EQ.. the EQT's are mono(1 channel so you'd need 2) 31 band 1/3 octave eq's [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. these are all trunk mount(generally).. If you get an Indash eq.. you do not want one with sliders..you want *****,,

Arc Audio AEQ7 is a great choice for in-dash.. as is the Audiocontroll Four.1(less bands though)..

a good Graphic EQ(looks like a HU) can be good like the Pioneer and Alpine versions with built in crossovers and 13 bands (1 octave spacing) of equalization..

Best EQ..would be either Audiocontroll EQT's or Image Dynamics ID31's... or PPI PAR30.. also if you have $$ out your [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] look into RANE home audio rack mount EQ's...

give us more info on what you want.. and what's in the rest of your setup and we'll help you out bro.

Cheers
Mohawk

I have a Alpine 5 channel amp with MB Quarts hooked up to it. In the rear they are just a set of speakers, and in the front I have a set of components!

Pretty soon, Im gonna hookup another Alpine V12 amp and have that run 2 10's....probably some Alpine subs, or some Kickers.... What do you think of the Alpine EQ's?

Muhahah....1 last question Mohawk...


What do you think...I want some clean tight base, so I was thinking about going with 2 10's. I have 1 12" right now, and I don't like it too much (JL Audio W0).

I was thinking about going with some Alpine subs... What do you think of em? I have an Alpine V12 amp that I'm gonna hook it up to...somewhere around 300-500watts for 2 subs..


Type R Woofers:
SWR-1021D - 10" Type-R Series Subwoofer (2ohm + 2ohm)
SWR-1041D - 10" Type-R Series Subwoofer (4ohm + 4ohm)



-----
Then I have another Alpine V12 amp that Im using for my MB Quarts all around (components in the front). Boy oh boy is this going to sound REALLY good!!!!!!!!

get a pair of 12" Type-r's put then in 1.33 cu.ft sealed each and they'll be tight and hit hard.

Why 12"s opposed to 10"s?

Also you're saying to do 2 boxes instead of one? Or does it not matter....?

12's because of the low frequency extension and added output(louder) and 1 Enclosure with a total of 2.66 cubes of airspace(before displacement btw)..preferably 1 box with a devider and 2 seperate 1.33 cu.ft chambers.

Cheers
