Head unit w/ or w/o EQ?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pretty simply head unit just to play AM/FM/CD/Ipod and was wondering if buying a head unit with a built-in EQ is a better idea than one without an EQ and just buying a separate EQ. Also, I'm looking for something on the cheap, so any suggestions are welcome. thanks

Kenwood mp345u is a good choice for a budget headunit. However it only has two sets of preouts but if you get a seperate eq that won't matter. I'd recommend seperate eq because it will send a cleaner and stronger signal

okay thanks. What eq would you suggest that's simple, cheap, and straight-forward? also, what non-eq head unit would you suggest for a mild build? thanks

every HU should have an EQ. however, a lot of them suck. an external eq should have several more bands. the more bands, the better. you have to find out if you want a parametric or graphic eq.

how much do you want to spend?

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

i think a parametric would be fine for me, I'm not planning on too crazy of a build. I want to spend as little as i can for the HU EQ setup without sacrificing too much quality, so about $150-300 would be in my range
