    "Harsh" MB Quarts - what can I do?

    Thanks I saw 9 graphic bands + 2 parametric and I jumped on it. I also am using a separate remote for sub boost/freq so I will be glad to get rid of that and use the controls on the eq!

    "Harsh" MB Quarts - what can I do?

    not sure - the HU just has some useless Bass/Treble settings and the amp (set on HP) has a Bass Adj which I have set about halfway - I'm assuming those are the only places I can set a cutoff freq right? I don't believe there is a cutoff in the crossovers..
