I did a search but didn't find anything about installing graphic equalizers. Personally, the Bose systems kills the Infinity system in my last car, but I think with all the cool lighting in the 8, it begs to have a (minimum) 10-band equalizer.

Has anyone installed an equalizer, and if so, how does it look?

 

i agree will look cool
but i dont think since the early 90's eq's are in the front by driver.
now all eq's are in trunk with amp and speakers for show.

 

with my dvd player i can eq the audio output on my nav screen .. but its only good for sounds coming from the dvd.

 

Ya know, I've wondered about this too. Seems to me an EQ, not a "booster" EQ, would make a huge difference in the sound of this system.

 

it does..

 

I have EQS with Memphis 6 ch. Amp and it sounds pretty OK. Not 100% happy due to the Boss head unit but a lot better than without it. The EQS has RCA output to the AMP and the EQS is in the trunk. I'm thinking about putting an after market head unit on the plastic panel btw back sits and use remote control but I'm not sure how it will look yet. I saw some people put subs on it. Any thought?

P.S. If you are wondering how my Amp, EQS and Sub in my trunk look, I can take picture of it and try to upload it.

 

Bkulleo, I would love to see a picture!

The reason I was thinking 10-band (or more) equalizer was for tuning the sound range. I don't need 600 Watts of thumping power because I've grown beyond that stage in my life. I just want to peak the thresholds and wondered if anybody had installed one and where they located the unit (in the ashtray area? Under the dash?) Thanks!

 

It does? Care to elaborate? What did you install, where did you get it, how much was it, and how about a pic or two? Thanks...

 

for show < for function. Unless space is really, really precious an EQ anywhere other than within reach of the controller is pretty pointless don't you think? What are you going to do, listen, get out, tweek a ****, listen, get out, tweek a ****, repeat forever?

I remember my installer tweeking my car for shows, he was in there for at least a half hour tweeking stuff. Of course, I had two 30 band EQs--one for left, one for right. If the EQs were in the rear he would not have been able to tweek it as well just out of annoyance factor alone.

 

MY dvd unit has 12 band EQ Software built in..all the Audio, CD,MP3,DVD that comes from that unit can be adjusted Via the Nav screen and my remote. and i can save the settings and shut if off.. ....

 

were all those ***** in the driver reach ?any pixs
thanxs

 

Thew, I read you have been working on the Nav kit (from Japan-only parts), but I wondered about your DVD unit. I see you installed it in the pass-through, so I must ask: How did you get the Blaupunkt to communicate with the Nav head unit? Thanks for any comments!

 

I use the Avelectronics Box.. DO a search on it you will find that at least 2 of us have this ..
its a great unit..

 

The EQs were Zapco EQ30's, 60 ***** in driver reach would be pretty impossible. The EQs actually have 30 pots adjustable with a screwdriver, the EQs were mounted in the dash on a sliding rail and when fine adjustments were needed they could be slid out and tweaked from the driver's seat. For broader adjustments I had a small 5 band EQ mounted in the dash as well.

This was in a Camaro...I have pictures somewhere but all the gear was stolen so I really don't want to dig them up and remember how much I miss it .
