Question: Why do you feel you NEED an EQ? EQs are typically used either as a band-aid to a poorly-designed system, or to fine-tune a high-end system. Most setups in between don't need them and don't benefit from them. Well i do have a pretty poorly designed system lol. Well i wouldnt say that it is so much poorly designed its just that it is VERY cheap and i am planning on adding a sub here pretty quick and i know i can get bass blockers for my mids but i like the way an EQ boosts the power a lil and if you need a lil bit more mid-range or treble all you have to do is slide a slider. I know i could hook an amp up to them but i would rather just have an EQ |

Just a suggestion: spend some time perusing www.bcae1.com and/or
www.the12volt.com to get a better idea of how all this works. |

I want to get my system so that my mids are just producing mid and treble. The crossover doesnt have to have an option for the subwoofer. Or would you suggest this? As most amps generally have a crossover built in dont they? |

Well then could you suggest a good crossover? Active or passive? Active is one that operates at low-level, between your head unit and your amp(s). Passive is one you put between the amp(s) and the speaker(s). If you have two-way or three-way speakers, they'll already have crossovers in the form of capacitors inline with the tweeters, to block the lows from the tweeters. I want to get my system so that my mids are just producing mid and treble. The crossover doesnt have to have an option for the subwoofer. Or would you suggest this? Definitely. You don't want your mids and highs going to your sub; you want to limit it to receiving only the lows. If you're going passive (ie. only one amp to run everything) then you need something along these lines: http://soundlive-china.en.alibaba.co...Car_HIFI_.html (Note: this is NOT an endorsement of this unit or supplier, it's just provided as an example). By the way, googling "car audio passive crossover", the very first hit I get points to this: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/cross.asp As most amps generally have a crossover built in dont they? Not necessarily... a two-channel amp MIGHT have a low-pass (passes low frequencies, blocks highs) crossover built-in, for use strictly as a sub amp. A few more might give the option of a high-pass as well (passes mids and highs, blocks sub frequencies). The majority of four-channel amps will probably have both. In any case, if you're shopping for an amp, check for these things first; don't assume it will have them. |
