Anybody running an audiosource eq?

I'm thinking of getting a pair of dual 31 band/channel audiosource eqs, or maybe a single 2 channel 13band/channel eq. Just wondering if anybody here has experience with them, and where in the hell can I mount them?

I'm looking at either a pair of EQTs or an EQL. The EQL is much cheaper and takes up a lot less space, and I'm not sure that I need 30 bands per channel. It would be nice, but I'll be tuning it forever.

I'm also wondering if the balanced inputs are compatable with the balanced outputs on my Kenwood PS 911.

i bought a mint EQL 13 band over e-bay for a little over $80, and i was playin arround with it, and i hooked it up to my "house sub" (10 cerwin vega vega series with jensen amp) and i put the amp's crossover on high pass, and EQed only bass through, and the EQ totally defeated the amp. it was nice. i didnt have any high/mids i could try it on but im sure it will help my sound. the boxes they send em in are great too.

I think you just found out why you should buy the EQTs You may not think you need 30 bands, buy you will always have the ability later down the road for total control. Why spend less, get less, and find out a year later you want the better EQ.

Because finding room for a pair of EQTs is going to be real tough, and I'm looking at a huge price difference between a pair of EQTs and a single EQL. It's mainly the space though. I should be able to fit a single EQL behind a dummy panel right on the flat part of my Camaro dash, but I doubt that a pair will fit. I was also looking at the Zapco 1/3 octave eq. That's a 1/2 DIN unit, but they're $450 each.
