Sooooo, did some experimenting with my HSK's this morning and I want to go active IF I can find a hu thats affordable to do it. I hooked the mids straight up to the amp and I noticed a definate improvement in clarity, not so much in midbass but in them midrange and highs. (well, as high as they go lol) they don't break up at all in the high frequencies, they just roll off nice and smooth. guitars and vocals were even clearer, and I thought the vocals were clear before, boy was i surprised. So, my question is, I found a clarion hu thats active capable and is a great price but only has a 3 band peq. can i make my system sound good with only 3 bands? i have a 7band geq now and have never use less than 5. is it gonna work for what i want or no? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
