ive got 2 of these available to me atm for $200 each, im going to try and get them for $150 each and i will most likely get them.

all the info i can find on them is that they are discontinued and went for about $250US before they were discontinued..

does anyone think these arent worth the $150 each? could i do better for the price?

ta,
Damon

I've got two of these and I haven't come across anything that would make me want to change!!!

I think that your personal preference will heavily influence this issue - I like analogue stuff because it saves my settings and doesn't require a PHD to operate.
If you are a real fan of digital however, then these obviously aren't going to be a favourite for you, and you might be better off saving for the new audiocontrol range of fully digital gear.

agreed on the fact that analogue saves settings. thats one thing thats really swaying me that way. only problem is the lack of in cabin tuning. but im sure ill get over that

but hows the price? $150 each a good price for the eqt's?

[18-lux]

im no professional in this area but from the info available i belive 150 would be a good price if they were new or as new

oh also, ill be going alpine 9811-> eqt's -> 3 way electronic x-over -> tri amp, consisting of a 4 chan v-net amp and some other random amp

and finally onto 2x Boston FS60 mids, vifa silk tweets, and boston ambient tweets

i think the eqt's would be pretty appropriate for this setup, but any comments are appreciated.

If your $$$ allow, I would highly recommend alpine H701. it will do all of the above+ propper time correction. If getting something quick is a must EQT at this price is a bargain. If I were you, I would spend some time saving up for 701. Knowing that 701 will give me tuning tools I will ever need for the future is a peace of mind.

Golf (as always!) has a good point in that if your budget can be pushed then an additional 'on-board' styled processor will give you all the features of the EQT plus more. And you will also be then able to tune from within the car (although I am not sure how important that would be as to really effectively tune you really do need an RTA).

Have you already purchased the 3-way Xover?

If not you might want to look at the newer audiocontrol stuff as it is digital and incorporates both the 31band EQ and a 3way + sub Xover all in the one digital unit. You can also then add an in-car control unit if that is highly important to you.

All that said - for one of those units new I am pretty sure the RRP is around $1000 in which case the H701 is probably already looking much more promising!!!

As for $150-200 for each EQT, well that is almost a steal but don't tell your friend!!!

yeah ive already got the 3 way x-over.. $20 in cashies because they didnt realise what it was

and nah, i wish the budget could be stretched.. if it could i would probably get a DQX with CCD. i wasnt planning on getting an eq until he sprung the opportunity for these onto me.

ta for the advice, with luck i will have the eq's in a few hours he if agrees to trade for one of my monoblocks.

[raziel]

grab them at that price - they are a great set of eq's

[>WAYCON<]

So....what happened here? Good new story?

[Woob]

spent my money on an ID MAX now ive gotta re-save for the eqt's

worth sacrifice if you ask me

[Woob]

the real beauty and the beast! pity the freakin MAX weighs more than the 15" RE SX

[>WAYCON<]

Oh man!!!

Argh well - if your mate is in a hurry to sell you can send him in my direction - I need another pair!
