Installation of EQ


Recommended Posts

Posted

So not that I really needed it, but I wanted to try it, I have been wanting a Clarion EQ for the past 5-6 months. I totally forgot I had wanted it and the girlfriend had NOT. She got me the tried and true EQS746.

She also got me a nice 18V Makita impact, it's badass.

Anyway, it's been cold here(in the 50s) and I've been too chilly to go outside and install it. Tonight was the night, despite it being in the high 40s.

I was REALLY wanting to get it to fit in the area where there is a pocket for like a remote or iPod, or snacks but it didnt fit exactly.

A little tweaking, not the meth kind, but adjustments, and I had it right about where it would work.

Definitely didnt come out perfect, but this small job wasn't worry mixing a small batch of resin and fiberglass(believe me I contemplated it).

Here's the fitment:

And mocked inside dash before any wires were run or connected:

And all connected:

With dash lights that match, look at all the blue:

All in all I'm happy with it, got it DD1'd and it does the job nicely on the mids/highs. I've got the sub box out to see if a 12" isobaric push/pull is gonna work, it's already got the 10" ISO. Anyway, thanks for checking it out :)

I was nervous when I first turned the key(I'd had the battery disconnected) because it didn't turn on. Well the HU was in standby mode by default. The minute I threw the CD for the DD1 in, it came to life. I was panicked for about 3 seconds that I had forgotten something.

*Edit- Thanks for reading the thread guys, I know someone is installing this same EQ like WEEKLY on our forum, so thanks for looking at mine

Looks great bro... so how did you secure it in the back?

It's attached really snugly with all of the RCAs and wires. It also fits into the opening very tightly. I only used zip ties around the deck and EQ to get the angle correct its too tight in there to get a screw through an L-bracket, and quite honestly, there's NOTHING to attach the L-bracket to.

I did same in past. install looks good..only thing i did was get some rubber material to the correct thickness between deck and eq and taped it together.just in case u need little more strength.

Looks amazing bro! And that's exactly how installed mine the first time, widened the CD pocket on my original dash kit, and slid it right in there.

Bad ass drill too. I want it.
