Old school PPI, some of the best build quality you'll ever find in an eq. Easily the cleanest sounding and best quality eq i've ever used. ONLY selling this because I have a chance to get back the only other half din eq I loved as much as this ppi (an eclipse 21000 at a very close second to this par-245).

Manual:

The pics are a few months old, i'll update the pics tomorrow when i get home.

The eq's face is in good condition, there's a few scratches on the top but they wont be visible in typical dash install. There's also pictured some glue still on the top side of it. I can't remember if I had removed the glue or not. The only wear on the eq not in this pic are the small scratches on the top i just mentioned. the face is still in great shape.

Price:

$150 + exact shipping FIRM

....not $140 shipped, not $150 shipped, not $155 shipped. I'm not interested in how much you saw another one for. If I dont get asking price i'll keep it. It's only getting more and more rare every year.

Not really looking for trades unless it's an offer I cant refuse. I'd just be reselling whatever I trade for so it'd need to be something that'll go quick for 150 or more.

it not being white like the rest of my art gear was one of my justifications for parting with this....although it did match my black dash well.

baaaaaack up for sale.

$150+ ship firm...might be flexible on the shipped price if you're pretty close to FL. I'll get updated pics tomorrow...

P.S.....this is my spare that I'm selling. These are **** pretty hard to come by and outperform everything else I've used.

The best part is the adjustable center freqs and q....here's a crash course to setting this EQ to your systems needs.

Figure out the ball park freqs area that you need to adjust, to do this watch your head unit's graphic eq. it's easiest when you have the the whole range on a graph with the center freq line peaking, dipping, and curving across the spectrum. As you adjust your head unit eq can you see where that lines moves as you listen for the good and the bad freq areas. You can get a feel for where your head unit eq set bands cannot adjust for and might be worth adding your parametric preamp bands at...both freq and width....

When you have the bands set to where they'll do the best work you can then start to really fine tune things. the knobs are "meaty" if you will, not at all flemsy. You'll find yourself obsessed with how precisely you can tune your speakers and rather quickly turn into an eager audiophile....probably falling more so off the deep end of your car stereo addiction...you'll blow wads more cash trying to get other similar grade goodness... equipment like this, when used right, rocks your world daily....
