I was mad at myself for not buying the more expensive model from Planet Audio that included adjustable crossover points for each level of the equalizer. This one was on sale for such a resonable price I couldn't refuse. I'm glad I bought this model now. Being honest with myself, I feel I have a diserning ear for music but the 4 equalizer settings high, mid, low, sub-low, are just fine. I can switch between my head unit and a mp3 player with a touch of the aux button and my mp3 player sounds better without going thru the head unit. I have fader, sub crossover, sub gain, volume, along with the EQ levels. It put's 7v to my amps. A alpine 4ch rated at 25w rms and a precision audio 2ch rated at 250w rms bridged to a single 1000w Infinity 8" in a sealed box. The 4ch alpine runs 2 4x6 Infinity plate spkrs in the rear and 2 6 1/2" co-ax Alpine's in the front kick panels. The equalizer performs flawlessly with separate outputs for Sub, front, rear, So I can split the 4ch inputs and use the fader control to balance the 6 1/2's and the less power hungry plates. The amps may seem to small but they aren't. Power ratings are severely over estimated by most users. A 250w 2ch bridged will power a 8 or a 10 to beyond the speakers capability's easy. The Alpines 25w rms per channel rating is where it has the least distortion not the most it can produce. Add in the EQ pumping 7v to the inputs and you have alot more than the rated power. Esp. if you run heavy power leads and a Cap in the main lead before you split the power to the 2 amps. I highly reccomend this EQ/Sub controller to anyone. I had a $280 dollar kicker EQ for a long time and this one has better features. Also the blue background lighting around the knobs that pump to the music makes a nice effect.

This equalizer seems to be everything I wanted and it looks good the picture isn't the picture of the actual item for a video review you can go to my youtube zdawk and check it out. I give it a 5/5 on looks and style I like the setup and how there are three sub controls I will make another video soon on my youtube of the equalizer in use.

I bought this because I wanted something a little easier to control my subs. It does that and more for a great price.

The only downside to this unit is how bright the blue lights are. They are almost to much at night in my single cab pickup. The ability to turn off the light would be great.

Other than that this thing is great.

I must admit that for the price this unit works pretty well. I bought it on a budget as I just needed something with a bit of control over my sound.
The specs looked OK for what it is.
The one thing that takes a star away from this item is that it is not clear in the documentation that the front and rear out puts are full range. It would be nice if this were select able. Even if it were with a jumper inside the unit. I was forced to use an older crossover in the system to keep the bass from over loading my front and rear component speakers.
Aside from that one point, this unit is well built, looks good and has good points for adjustment.

i had went through two different eq's. my first a power acoustik second a soundstream and by far this one is way better.. the soundstream was really good but this one topped it off.. i dont and will never regret buying this eq

I bought this because I needed an EQ for my Alpine CDE-100. Its a simple EQ to work with a simple head unit. Together they are a perfect combination. The best thing about this it that it works great for a very low price.
