I love parametric eq's. I usually use only 3 or 4 bands of the nine on my pioneer EQ-6500 so a parametric eq would allow me to fine tune in the ranges I actually use. This eq has great control in the sub-bass, mid-high and high ranges that I tweek with the most. sounds clean. 3v in and 7v out further reduce systen noise. All controls except gain for the cd input are on the front. 1/2 din chassis. Front, rear and sub pre-outs

Now for the bad news, and to some this won't matter, but is does to me and no doubt will to others as well. The sub woofer pre-out is not controlled by the eq at all. The sub pre-out is only controlled by the sub crossover, master volume and sub volume.
What is the sence of having an eq band labled sub, that is adjustible from 20-60Hz that only works through the front and rear pre-outs but has no control over the sub pre-out?
Also, there appears to be no high pass crossover for the front and rear pre-outs. Memphis could have built a much better eq by adding high-pass crossovers to the front and rear pre-outs (would,nt added much to the price) and routing the signal so the eq (at least the lowest band labled sub) would work through the sub pre-outs. Aside from the eq vrs. sub channel issue and the lack of highpass filters for the front and rear pre-outs this is a good eq. Being a part time audio repair guy maybe I can cut a few traces and add some jumber wires to make it work like I want it to.
Of course if you have a seperate crossover with front and rear pre-ins and outs and it's own sub crossover you could just use it for the eq section and the sub channel would'nt be an issue.

Very adjustible eq. sounds great, but has sub issues
