7 band eq is always great with a nice head unit.

not 3-way active but adjustable level, slope, frequency for Front HPF, Rear HPF, and Sub LPF.

I have the CDE-HD149BT which steps up to BioLite display for $300. Worth it, to me. And it plays Apple Lossless files via iPod. It also remembers where you left off with USB or iPod even if you remove it. So i can switch between iPod and USB (using the same USB connection) and it recalls position on either. Pretty neat.

Ah.

The parametric eq interests me.

How high does the hpf cutoff go up to?

not high enough.

it's why i'm changing to amps that are active capable.

And doesn't your processor take care of that?
