how many of you actually have a seperate (aside the one on your HU) equalizer in your car? is there a big advantage to having one?

i really dont even know anything about them.. any info? :thumbup:

 

I have a few bands of eq - 93 to be exact....

I'd say that working on placement and installation is more important then any eq or signal processor - the only place that may benefit the average system is time alignment...if you only care about the sound from one seat, it affords some shortcuts.

I say add EQ last....they can often hurt more then help...IMO of course...

 

I added a Clarion EQS-560 to my modest system and it made alot of difference. The sound is much more defined now, it's not where I want it to be, but that has alot to do w/the fact that I haven't installed my components yet. But I think an eq would give you more control over the sound of your system, I say go for it.

 

It can sound great if tuned right, or it can sound very bad if its not tuned problerly.

 

I agree with curley. EQ's are cool, and if you use a lot of different types of music and media, they can help, but dont use it to compensate for crappy components.
