Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 980 Registered: Mar-06 | Ok, for 5.1, do you need any speacial head unit or does the signal just need to be broken up for a center channel via some sort of EQ or something. Or is 5.1 some new way of saying , bass, mids, and highs? I came across this eq, the first Ive seen that is capable of putting out a center channel, so whats the Story ? Yea, its a junk brand, but the only one I found, so far. http://cgi.ebay.com/5-1-Channel-Car-Stereo-Parametric-Equalizer-Pre-Amp-EQ_W0QQi temZ280034244600QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79841QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

You then will need a processor that can take the digital signal and separate them into front/rear/centre and sub. That item on eBay comes at the later stage. So it is useless. With digital surround, you don't need an tone control. My JVC 5000 HU comes with digital optical output. |

I was hoping to find something, Like that above, That I could just add on to my exsisting system. I dont want a dvd HU, just CD. Well, I will keep looking. Alpine has some nice stuff, but I think the price will come down as more players get into it. Thanks guys. |
