Could I make use one or both of them in my system?
I have a clarion electronic processer it's a crossover and eq that connects to my head unit and 1 rca nonfading output.
before this I have my epicenter inline.
and on to my electronic processer that has the has a left output a right out and a subwoffer output.
the subwoffer output goes to a A600.2
the front left is split into the channels 1 and 2 of my A404 for my front left part of my mbquart RSB 215 component set using the supplied passive cross-over.
the front right channels is split into the channels 3 and 4 of my A404 for my front right part of my mbquart RSB 215 component set using the supplied passive cross-overs.
Do u guys think I could make use of these in my system?
I was going to have the 3xs in my system connected to the front and rear outputs of the electronic processor and I then use the front high pass output on my A404 for my component set. I don't think that will send any mids to my component set. ---------------------------------------- Please help me out here with any sugguestions like getting rid of the electronic processor and getting a Audiocontrol eql or eqx.
and maybe use the 2xs in after the subwoffer output cuase it has a replaceable chip that is a subsonic filter..
I'm really messed up with all of this crossover network thing.. I'm even losing sleep over it.
thanks Shane

Well, here's an Idea- You could sell the 2xs or 3xs and use the money towards a EQL, so you could have two channels through the EQL, through the 2xs or 3xs, and then use the sub line through the epicenter for sub. But you don't really need all that equipment (the EQ, two crossovers, and then the epicenter) because active crossovers induce noise and putting too many of them inline can degrade the signal, even a great product like the 'xs series.

Thanks for the advice Shadowstar.. I was wondering if I should still buy the EQL..
and isn't a EQL only a one channel in line filter.. do you mean a EQX? the one that has the crossover also?
my clarion eqh5100 has a crossover in it too but it's only for the subwoofer line adjustable high and low pass around 60 80 and 120 for each.. and one has a thru setting also I forget which one..
What would it do for my system? I already have a 9 band eq with the clarion eqh5100.. should I use the eq defeat switch on it. and just use the eql's equalizer. and if I would use both how would I tune the car. Would I tune the clarion first and then the audiocontrol one?

Sounds like you have a lot of stuff packed in your car.
The EQL is a two channel in line EQ, active (boost as well as cut), the EQT is the mono (one channel) 30 band EQ, a tweakers dream but up to 600 for a pair (two channels)
The EQL is a nice piece of equipment, and all you would need to tune an average car.
If you want to keep the Clarion EQ, then don't bother getting an EQL. You have nine bands already, if you think you need more than that the ideal thing would be removing the clarion and going with an outboard eq, but you probably don't need any more bands. But thats up to your ears and pocketbook.
The head unit - Connect one line to the epicenter and go straight to the a600 from there. The clarion eq wires to the 3xs or 2xs and you run one RCA from the 'xs to each channel of the a404, then run speakers (one tweet per front channel, one mid per rear channel)
Voila-
At least, thats what I would do.
Then, if I felt the need to get more EQ bands, the clarion would come out, and an EQL or 2 EQT's would go in instead, but running straight to the crossover.
The Epicenter has (IMO) enough EQ power for your sub area.
Get some second opinions, you have a big upgrade path and many of those roads will lead to audio nirvana.
