[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 2780509, member: 573252"] The audio control stuff is good, but the EQT or EQL will do nothing for you in this situation. They're EQ's not crossovers. The DQX, and DQXS are great units, but definitely don't fall in the realm of simple, and at $500.00 are definitely not budget units. Units like the DQX and the PPI DCX-730 have many more features than just crossovers. For fine tuning a system, they're extremely valuable. For your situation, I'd stick to the Memphis unit. That is unless you see yourself starting to care about equalization, and time alignment in the future. If that does happen you can alway upgrade your deck instead to a Pioneer 880PRS, for about $350.00. If you're patient you can probably find the Memphis 16-X03 on ebay for under $100.00. That would put your total cost to under your proposed budget of $300 with speakers. Even if you buy that unit retail, you should still be okay on budget. [/QUOTE]
