What equilizer do you use?

I use a dbx 15 band per channel graphic one, for now.

Would like to go to the full 1/3-octave when I get the chance.

Audiocontrol makes a great product, some of the older eqt's are going at nice prices used, sometimes in pairs even.

I use the PEQ via my 8053.

I haven't really tinkered with mine that much...has it helped you a lot?

I don't have access to an RTA so I don't really know how much good it's actually doing me. I've just used it mostly in the 1k and above region to attenuate my tweeters quite a bit because at higher volumes they would hurt my ears.

It has helped in that sense but as far as actually making everything sound better, "meh."

check out a audiocontrol 4.1. improved the sq of my system. luv it

Its in my sig and same as the post above me it realy helped out in the sq

ma audio makes some nice, 30 band eq's

i hate to ask stupid questions and i am sure some of you guys will think it is

but whats the whole point of a equalizer and what does it do and is it worth it to get, and what do you hook it up up

thanks

What kind of HU are you using?

If you're thinking of buying one consider the Alpine CDA-9887, then buy (or rent through Crutchfield) the KTX-100 Imprint unit with the Audessey automated EQ.

You wouldnt have to worry about getting frustrated as it does all the analyzing and EQ'ing (and sets the crossovers) for you.

Or, if you already have a different HU you might consider the new Alpine PXE-H650 that does the same thing as the KTX-100 but can be used with any type of HU, and from what I understand its even more flexible, with a better EQ, and lets you choose your own crossover points if you want to.

Either can be found on ebay.

it lights up blue around the knobs

$50 at ebay

i'm using an H701.
