Auto Turn-On makes it ideal for use with factory radios: just connect the hi-level speaker input, and the equalizer powers on when the radio does. 

Use the subwoofer crossover to send a filtered sub signal to a dedicated sub amplifier, while other outputs can feed front and rear amps.

Because of the 8 V output, it's compatible with powerful signal chains and amplifiers, helping maintain a strong signal without clipping.

    It allows you to fine-tune frequencies, improving clarity, bass tightness, and overall sound balance across your entire setup.

  • Is the DS18 equalizer easy to install?
    Yes, it typically installs between your head unit and amplifier using RCA cables, making it a quick upgrade for better sound tuning.
