Audio-Concepts Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just run an eq on the front stage, use the backs as a fill and keep little power to them. There is really no need for any rear speakers in an SQ setup, all your sound should be center/front with your sub stage acting as a rear fill. But as for an EQ, it depends on budget! Audiocontrol is prolly your best bet for quality, but you'll be spending a fortune! With my car Im using an Alesis MEQ-230. The Alesis is used mainly for concert tuning in PA setups, but with a Ac/dc inverter can be used in a car! But if you want digital Alesis also makes a DEQ-230. The EQ is a dual 30 band 1/3 octave eq. So tuning is not easy, but very precise. Hell, my set-up consists of a pair of composite 6.5" in front, my Alesis and a single 12" sub. But, when tuned correctly, shall sound like youre in a recording studio. Im just waiting to get my RTA so I may be able to start tuning, get it dialed in and maybe compete!

S15_Silvia Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I hear you- so you're saying put an EQ on the front RCA channel, and just have the amp's crossover worry about the rear fill? I looked at the Audiocontrol EQL- any thoughts on that one? Quote 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

Audio-Concepts Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I think Audiocontrol makes a dual 20 band eq, that would be more than enough tuning capabilities for a front stage, just be prepared to spend some money!

Audio-Concepts Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The EQL, EQS, and EQX, are all great! If you want look for a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ equalizers! They are amazing, an are both 30 band 2/3 octave!

S15_Silvia Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Let's say I hypothetically get the EQS. What would I then set the amp's crossovers to?

kirill007 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Let's say I hypothetically get the EQS. What would I then set the amp's crossovers to? Just testing. (and does this has to be in a SQ section?) Rear fill is useless imo and in SQ too. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
