[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8460878, member: 650438"] never use those clarion EQs they do more harm then good SQ wise. Graphical EQs are always inferior to parametric EQs. The thing about owning a better head unit is the digital audio convertors inside. Junk head units (150$ and under) will have bad/vieled sound compared to head units that have a quality 24 bit burr brown/wolfson DAC built in. Nowadays you go with real full on digital sound processors(DSPs) instead of using audiocontrol, they are severely outdated in comparison. However i'd say for a 16 year old. Get him something budget as hell. He doesnt deserve a fully decked out system yet if he doesnt have the attention span to learn all that and fully take it in and love the hobby. It might even take some guy on the street sounding louder and better than his for him to really want to improve his setup and actually absorb things in. Hell, It might even be just a phase for him. So do yourself and your wallet a favor and just get him sounding thats cheap, gets loud and sound decent without pouring too much money out. UNLESS you want to enjoy it yourself then by all means go ahead. I'd make him earn a real setup first. [/QUOTE]
