Re: Myself & my 95 Civic. PG ZX, ZPA & more

since i have a crossover and a EQ in the head unit, i will try to use it to run -> 63Hz on the sub then 63Hz -> on the ucs. So the ucs will manage the crossover, eq and delay on the components. I don't really need delay on the sub since it is the farest part, and doing it so, i can, still use the +/...

I don't know if you can have Rainbow comp here or even Ground Zero.
Because they made awesome midbass /woofer, especially the plutonium line by ground zero. But as it is expensive european stuff it might be very expensive in the US :|
