hey peeps
at the moment i have a panasonic md player
components up front
6"coxioal (spelling) on the shelf and
a sub in the boot.
i have 2 amps one for the sub one for the components.

i'm thinking of upgrading the sub amp for a mono block, i want to use the sub amp for my components cos theres more power.

to acheive a better SQ im thinkin of getting an EQ and a power cap.

i've seen an EQ, its the mac audio one in the latest fast car. does anyone know if its any good?

can anyone reccommend a decent EQ and power cap for aaround £150(each)?

thanks for the help in advance
cheers

if u get the maplins cap you would then have £200 - £250 to spend on an EQ, but tbh that still isnt enough for a decent EQ.

dont bother with the eq. your system doesnt need it. they put too much strain on the amp in my opinion

Just buy a Powercap and a bigger battery, no point in EQ's. Or buy a powercap and a basscube to fit inline with the amp running the Sub.

the kenwood 4042 eq (tiny) (u could, if u wanted to fit 4 of em in a normal radio cut out in the dash) is a 5 band eq with sub out these are around £140 with the bigger brother 6042 just over £200 the bigger of the 2 has a 9 band eq with sub out 'and' parmetric (helps to compensate for different interior noise and stuff, it's a bit involved) if ur looking for an eq thats sits in the boot then this will get expensive, but u will get some great results and ur gona need some proper amps too.
