Need Some Help, Do EQs Make A Difference, and Better RCAS?

[crfrider 10+ year member]

A yes would i notice a differnce if i bought 2 sets of Knukonceptz RCAs, the best ones they make coming from some sosche RCAs? also if I bought a Clarion EQ that has 7 volt output would it make a difference over just using the Hu and the Amps eqs? And If I did buy a eq and the 2 Sets of RCAs, a 2 channel and 4 channel set, could i just run the soches from my deck to the Eq then the Knus from the eq to the amps? or would that defeat the purpose since i would still have some cheap ones in there, and My Kenwood DDX-812 has 5 volt output? thanks

You bought a Clarion EQ on top of having your DDX EQ? My EQ on my DDX812 does me just perfect. The only thing I'm lacking is in the 20K range, but meh...

What exactly is the problem with your setup?

Nothing i dont think, well im in the process of getting a new vehicle so everything is out right now, And i just bought a kicker zx850.4 to run mids and highs with my zx2500.1 for my 2 l7 15s, i have kenwood ddx-812 i just got a month ago so i havent had it in a vehicle to play with it yet, since i am trying to sell my truck, I was just wondering if a clarion eq would make a difference in the sound since it has 2 extra volt outputs, also just wanting to know if the better RCAs make a difference, or im not going to waist money on these things

IMHO just use the DDX and call it a day. It does have a 13 band... I'm telling you that my car sounds amazing and I used an RTA to set my EQ properly or my Rainbow comps and mids. Utilize your time alignment too as it works fabulously on our headunits.

I wouldn't "waste" the money on another EQ just for the additional outputs.

As for the RCAs in question...they may make a small difference, but nothing that would be too audible I would imagine.

This is just my 2 cents.
