Settings for Headunit

[Sysop 10+ year member]

I've replaced the head unit in my boat. I had an alpine MDM-7741 using only the set of preouts provided. The new deck is a pioneer 6700mp with front and sub preouts. From the deck I'm only using the front preout going to an equalizer (the equalizer is Crossfire very similar to the CFQ5.2) . From the equalizer I have one set to the Hi's/Mid's amplifer and the other set of rca's to the Sub amp. What setting should I have on the deck for this setup. My Choices are Preout: Full, Preout: S/W, Rear S/P: Full and Rear S/P: S/W.

Are there any other settings that need to be changed going from the one deck to the other?

Since you're doing your processing with the outboard EQ you'll want to run a full-range signal into it so it can do its thing then send the appropriate signals to the amps it is equalizing for.

Set the HU to Full then tweak the EQ however you like it and bang away!
