JeffS carpal tunnel Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2858 Loc: Atlanta, GA	Ok, so I've had my unit for about a week and I finally got it installed (well, sort of) today. I have to say, I thought it was cool before I got it into my car. Now I just don't have the words. The equalizer on this thing is awesome, I can't say enough about it. I'm not an audiophile (not even close) so all I have is factory speakers and a $50 amp. I couldn't believe how good this unit sounds. What truly amazed me is how good my existing head unit (alpine) sounded when run through the aux in on the Empeg: I didn't know it would use the Empeg's equalizer. My cd player has never come close to sounding like this before, and I hardly knew what I was doing when I set up the EQ. Anyway, Thankyou guys so much for making such an outsdanding product. I am totally blown away. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

I couldn't believe how good this unit sounds. [soapbox] Now, if you really want to be impressed... get a subwoofer! I recommend a single 10" in a sealed box. I know you won't believe me, and no amount of talking will convince you of this, but a subwoofer will make an even bigger improvement in your sound than the RioCar did.

I actually DO plan to put a sub and new speakers in as soon as I can afford it, but I am just floored at what this unit has done with about the worst sounding speakers I have ever heard. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

When I had only my Pioneer (DEH-300) headunit and a 10" kenwood sub in a bandpas enclosure, I never really cared that they were on factory speakers. I've since upgraded them, but at the time, it wasn't a problem. The biggest problem they have is handling low bass, so cutting them to mid+ ranges helps out tremendously..
