e-just Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hey Gang I use a pair of HIPs with a powered subwoofer for my home DJ set up. I was thinking about adding a graphic eq to my system but I have read that this can lead to blown drivers if not used properly. I just bought an Ashly MQX-2310 for a great price but I’m a bit hesitant to hook it up. It would be used to tune the speakers to my room. Any words of wisdom? Is this even necessary? thanks! eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The problem is when too much boost is added at certain frequencies and then dumping a bunch of watts into them that's a sure way to blow a driver. If you feel you need to level out the speakers with an EQ just try and take away from frequencies to match everything instead of boosting others to make up for it if that makes sense? Any boosting should be reserved for low volume listening IMO kind of like a loudness button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-just Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 That makes sense to me. I’m going to proceed with caution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
