[QUOTE="thch, post: 2130771, member: 562032"] both are tools with the same goal, but drastically different. a crossover trys to blend different speakers together. you would use a crossover on the subwoofer and front speakers to get them to blend together. an EQ is a general processor, it is used to make small corrections to the tonality of the system. its kinda like a more advanced version of the bass/treble knobs on stereos. since these are both tools, and because of the issues they address, neither is "better". both are helpful. a crossover will allow you to highpass the speakers, which prevents them from playing bass (leave that to the subwoofer). an eq is a general tool and can be useful. these are tools. this means the "max" setting isn't the best. if you don't want to learn how to use them, you may be better off without them.
