Hi fellas. I got my new HU and amp set up and sounding great yesterday. However, I want to further tune the center freq. I've got a pretty good clarion deck, JL 500/1, and JL 12w3 in prowedge. I really shouldn't complain, but I am a little OCD about music quality. I've got a parametric eq on my...

Wow I'm an idiot. I finally figured it out, but I feel alot smarter now. I've been tweaking with the settings and made it all sound great! But I confused the amp gain with the EQ boost. I had the gain on the amp at like 35%. I turned all the bass down on the deck and turned the gain to about 80%...

Hey guys, just got done tuning everything as best as I could. Now I got everything to sound a LOT better than yesterday, however the eq and filters on the HU got me in a hole. The subs only sound loud enough when I turn the "Bass gain" up on the HU. However, this for some reason isn't just for...

yes, however if i turn them down, the sub is NOT loud enough at all. When I hear that crunch sound, the subs aren't even really hitting super hard. It might just be some rattling issue in my car maybe, but I didn't have it before. btw this has 5.7 volt preouts

Wow what a rough night. I ended up helping a buddy of mine by buying his head unit for a pretty good price. It's a Clarion DX585USB. I don't know much about head units, but I got my speakers to sound AMAZING, and the sound restoration feature actually works **** well (IMO). However, I got my JL...

Okay I'm looking budget now guys. Like, $150 shipped online.

Now that you guys got me set on a more budget HU, I'm trying to save money. :P I lost the ebay bid on the 5444 (sniped at the last minute...) so I'm looking for something else with similar features.

Just for kicks, mind elaborating on why you prefer Eclipse? To be honest, I didn't really hear much about them until I came here.

Awesome. I'll look into all of those. The only reason I'm set on a nice EQ is to adjust sound. I want to spend the money for the quality, and the mixed results here is confusing me. I've got some people telling me that for all the SQ I need, I wouldn't need to spend that much. Then I have...

Excellent. So, what would be a more budget unit with the 24 bit DAC, high SQ, good for CD's with high enough voltage preouts, and a nice EQ?

I'm really not familiar with a panametric EQ. Maybe I should stick with a graphic EQ. What exactly is "Q"? It's on my JL amp too, but what does it do? The perfect equalizer for me would be something the one on winamp. btw UCF and others, I really appreciate the help. I know I'm a huge noob...

3 band eq tho..thats what my last one had

haha absolutely Alright so you guys are saying I can just spend like 150, and get something that, in my situation, would allow me to tweak all the settings and get the same, or better SQ (and maybe spl?) as the 9887? If yes, whats the best HU

Haha before my HU got stolen I WASN'T happy with it. It was an old $100 sony that sounded horrible IMO. I'm a very musical person actually, I just don't know much about car audio yet :P As for speakers i'm using some fusion 5 1/4's and crunch 6x9's. they sound way better than what I had in...

Ah, no I'm good on that. Not with the car I drive now. Maybe when I hit my goal of an extra $500 a month and get my charger SRT :P But really, with a regular setup with 5 1/4 and 6x9 and my amp, its not worth it to get a real nice head unit with a price tag? There's no additional SQ or features...
