thehoe92 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have the Clarion EQS746 and right out of the box I hooked it up and loved it. The control of the sub and volume and how you want it to exactly sound was perfect. Upon further review after the fuse in the back snapped (not popped, the actual housing snapped from my bass) I bypassed the whole EQ to find out that it had robbed my sub of its lows. It seemed that no matter what song I would play it would not get lower 32-34hz and sound clean. If you are not in to lows than it is not a problem because it boosted the bass frequencies almost like an Epicenter on older songs like Earth, Wind & Fire type music. My mids and highs are so much louder and a lot more clear because of this EQ as well but be careful because it does have a lot more power than your headunit and actually blew one of my tweeters because I tuned it wrong and it sent clipped signals to it. Other than that for +-$50 it is a GREAT unit and does its job. Nice and bright blue LED display Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a 30 hz boost/cut adjustment and got looooow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoe92 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 both agreed! they are very bright and it takes some time to get used too. and at first I really just wanted it to have a sub control and make my mids and highs a little louder. but I have read about that one and it looks like something I should have got... oh well I still like mine now that the sub channel is going through my Alpine and my mids and highs through the EQ. perfect balance Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Bought that EQ over a year ago when i bought my system. But never installed it. It was always in the blazer (in the pocket behind the drivers seat) but never installed it. It sat there for over a year. Took it outta the pouch when i CFC'ed the blazer. Now it sits on my pool table with the rest of my audio equipment. Never seen power, never been mounted in a car, but i still got it, lol. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...
