EQ input voltage

[demonds]

I'll be getting a Pioneer DEQ-9200 and is going to be hook up to my Pioneer DEH-P1Y. Now my question, I belive the equalizer voltage input is 2 volts, is this true? AND if it is, how is this going to affect my signal by my HU being a 6.5 volt pre output? will this cause overload and noise reproduction? and is it really the input 2 volts? I can't find nothing in the Pioneer website, the only thing I have ben able to find in the net is the out put levels wich are 5 volts.

Also if there are any Pioneer DEQ-9200 users out there, how do you all send the signal from the HU to the EQ? My HU has 3 pre outputs( front, rear, sub) but the EQ only has 1 input, how do you all send all 3 to it, I know there's gotta be a way since the EQ has 3 output like the HU. Do you all use Y adapters? and if so, how? I mean do you start putting Y adapters on the HU outputs until it becomes one set or how? Any set up help will be appreciated a lot, thanks.

you are stuck. with a single input. the eq will break down from your front signal or whatever you use into three different modes (Front back sub), your head unit wil no longer do this unless you use the eq only to shape say your fronts. I had this unit for a SHORT time because of this. I would recommend a more comprehensive eq (Audio contrl eqx,eqt, eql come to mind) as well these wont degrade your signal

the only EQ i would touch is zapco. played too long trying to get the mid bass out of the arcs and audio controls. the SP4 by far blew away my old arc XEQ. and the SX-SL i have in my boat along with the other processing kills my old dxe that it replaced.

i found that in both the audio controls and arcs that you either have mid bass or you dont, and when you did, it made the mid range distort like crazy. why dont you try boosting frequencies slightly, try not to clip it, with the volume down a little less than what you usually have it at.

Also, dynamat in the doors or wherever you speakers are mounted helps a ton.
