I read about a few EQs recently. I currently have a Panasonic DiN Sized DVD Player and Alpine Receiver/Screen. I'm done with DVDs and have decided to move on to SQ. So i figure I could put in a DiN Sized EQ in place of the DVD player.
My question is, what are good EQs that fit in DiN locations, or is there a setup that allows for 2 1/2 DiNs? I found these particular links on eBay, let me know what you all think.

That's what I've been able to find, and tried to read some reviews about them. The Kenwood KGC-9044, seems to be the easiest for installation as it is an all in one unit. Is that good or bad? Any info would be appreciated. I also am not sure if EQs are wise investments or not, especially for $200 or so.
Thanks,
Derek

What Alpine HU do you have?
My $.02 is that most of the higher end Alpine units are going to do more for your sound than any add-on EQ.

I have the CVA-1001, but will sell it along with the DVD player and use that money to get a new Alpine deck. I was just planning on getting a $199 - $299 headunit (new). I have seen Alpine head units with EQs, but weren't sure if they did as much as an external, or cost effective. Sometimes those types of head units jump up to $500-600.

buy the add on Ai net and you would not have to loose anything.. it is pretty cool and accessable from the 1001...

Ai Net, external equalizer? I'll check alpine's website in a sec and see what the deal is. It is mostly a matter of actually finding a place to put something, I was figuring under the driver or passenger seat is an option.
Thanks,
Derek
