[QUOTE="Jaredl, post: 1647516, member: 566462"] You have to know how to use the EQs for them to have an effect on the sound. The decks may have some preset choices, but the purpose of having EQs is to target specific frequency ranges where your system needs to be boosted or cut. A parametric EQ is more complicated, and affects the frequencies around a certain point (very hard to explain how it works). A graphic EQ you simply go to a certain frequency and boost or cut it. Parametric EQs generally have fewer bands. For graphic EQs, you can find 60+ bands on the very high-end processing combos. To learn more about EQs, go to [URL="http://www.bcae1.com"]http://www.bcae1.com[/URL] and read their equalizer section. That should explain the difference in a much clearer way. No offense, but it doesn't sound like you know how to use an EQ so I'm not sure that the EQ should determine your deck choice (of course you could learn how to use one). You may want to also look at the new P880 - it has 16 bands stereo (so 32 total) and can crossover a 2-way frontstage and sub if you decide to go active later when you learn more about tuning. Either of the decks you're looking at should be fine if you just want to run passives, though. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
