Install A Car Audio Equalizer

The equalizer is installed with a car audio stereo system to help control the various frequency bands. You don't have to try to adjust the sound for every different band's  music you put into your CD player. This device takes care of that. With a few items and some time, you can install this device yourself. 


Instructions


1. Decide where you want to place your equalizer. If you choose the dashboard to set it on, you may have to make a custom holder for it.


 


2. Finish installing your car stereo system. When finished, take a 16-gauge wire and hook it up to the power "in" place on your panel of fuses. You may have to create a hole if you can't unfasten the screw that's near the equalizer. Once you place the wire in there, put the screw back in its place.


3. Take out the stereo's main unit and take off the covering of the end of the wire that's turning on the stereo's main unit. Use an even longer wire that will connect the stereo and the equalizer. Take off the covering at the end of this wire. Use the black tape to fasten them together; this helps prevent an outage.


4. Relay the wire that turns on the system. This will go from the unit to the equalizer. Tie this down with what you deem suitable. Now, hook up the RCA cables to the dash unit to the preamp outlets. Use the black tape to secure the cables to ensure they won't try to spread apart. Relay the cables inside the dashboard to the equalizer's inlets. 


5. Put together the equalizer and the amplifier. Use the RCA cables for this. Run the cables from the outlets in the amp to the equalizer's inlets. 


6. Finish securing all wires and cables; make sure the equalizer is working right. If it is, place the dash unit back into its spot.
