MA Audio 30 Band EQ Question

[jtm0n3y 10+ year member]

I'm fairly new to all this car audio stuff. I am wanting to purchase a SY30EQ MA Audio 30 Band Equalizer. My question is that it only has one set of input and output rca ports. Being my receiver currently has 3 sets of preouts how would i go about hooking up this eq so that it is functional throughout all three outputs (low, mid, high, rear, front)? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

the three out puts are; Front, Rear & Sub and if you are this new i wouldn't suggest something so complicated unless you are going to for ULTIMATE SQ and going to have different drivers for each frequency.

Start out with something with 7 bands eg. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/csexpo/clarion4.html

You can't.

how would you hook up an eq like that if you had a 4ch and a mono amp? The kicker 30 nand eq is like that too. I had the chance to pick one up cheaply but since it only had the one output I declined it

Use a y-splitter

Thats what I figure but I would rather get one with more outputs

Audiocontrol has some units with more than one input and output.

Depends on your budget, what features you want/need, etc etc.
