My vote is the Panasonic CQ-VAD9200U 7" color LCD screen that plays DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, VCD, and SVCD. That's ny next purchase.

I like mine, the Alpine 7897, although I did pay over $500 for the **** thing in July, but I think it was well worth it. I love the fantomface, and its never skipped on me or anything. You can get it for like 400 now, I think its a good buy.

it's up to you snitchelgroovin.....i have my changer in the trunk....it's fine....eq's are great, gimme some info on the eq

 

[snitchelgroovin 10+ year member]

hey taylor... i dont know about a changer yet, but maby in a couple months or something, but i found the place that sells my equalizer

its a coustic eq with a 7band adjustemtn and a bass control. its also 1/2 din so it will probabaly be easy to fit into my current space of 2din.

tell me what you think of this one, because i really dont know too much.

looks like a decent deal....coustic has a pretty good drep so good luck!

 

[snitchelgroovin 10+ year member]

what is drep?

and i see that this eq has a crossover... am i required to use that, and if so, what does it do???

 

[taylor 10+ year member]

sorry rep

 

[taylor 10+ year member]

it's referring to the subwoofer crossover point, meaning you can adjust the freq. at which you sub will hit at right from the drivers seat instead of trunk.....wq's are easy to set.....just set it to how it sounds best to you, fill in what missing or take away what has too much basically....

 

[snitchelgroovin 10+ year member]

i know how to use the eq, but that crossover sounds pretty good. but i thought that i would just set it at the proper freq and leave it alone. is there a point to changin it?

 

[taylor 10+ year member]

thats how mine is too......my kicks are set up to hit 150hz and up, the midbass are setup to hit 150 hz down to 70hz, and the sub does 70hz to 30hz....every cross over point is set on the amps themselves, except the subwoofer crossover, the eq does that....then i use my eq to get it the way i want it to sound.....

 

[snitchelgroovin 10+ year member]

will the eq raise or drop the sound, and if it gets down to lets say 20hz, will it blow up or something?

 

[taylor 10+ year member]

I don't understand.

 

[snitchelgroovin 10+ year member]

im not exactly sure what the bass crossover adjuster does, how does it do anything soundwise?

 

[rco8786 10+ year member]

im assuming it just changes the frequencies that are sent thru your sub level pre-out. either that, or does the exact opposite thru your front/rear preouts.

Originally posted by ThunderTunes i think it would be better to put it in the glove box,console if u have one or under the seat but i wouldn't put it in the trunk no no not me man

Is there a reason why you wouldn't put it in the back no no not me?
