Looking for cheap passive equalizer

Post by Alfaholic »

Hi, im looking for a cheap passive equaliser and i found one on ebay

Link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/SoundXtreme-CAR ... f5&vxp=mtr

I have never used one so i wonder if this cheap one is any good or do i need something better, i have been looking for active but the ones i see like helix and Audison are so expencive and i think its better for me to use a passive one as im new to this stuff.
Im looking to spend like max 100$ on it, will i get something thats good for that litle money i dont care if it used.
I have looked on diy Mobile Audio but its hard to find anythng as its so big forum

Hi, it does not need to be an in dash EQ i just need something that works okay and is in my price range.
I have been looking on the PG EQ215 but the ones i see on ebay are 300-400$, the other problem is size the PG looks big as i am going to place one of the amp in front i want something small i can put i glove compartement or under the seat.

Kg1961 is it this one u got with the display?

I have been looking on this one its a Soundstream MPQ-7XO its only 55$ but shipping is 30$, shipping from US to me is expensive.

But with a 3way i would need one amp for midrange and one for the tweeter?, i want to run one amp on the tweeter and midrange
/woofer so i do not need to buy another amplifier.

How many rca outputs does ur hu have and how many channels does ur amp have (6,5 or 4). I see what ur saying but the unit would help u tremendiously if done right and give u more control

I only got 1rca on the head unit im using now, my amp got 4channel but im gonna bridge it as the speakers need the power they can get from the small PG SD500/4, i wanted to use the crossovers that came with the speakers and they only got 1channel in.
I also got to think about the shipping cost and then its 200$+, i need subwoofer and a box to so i have to think about the what i can spend on it.
