The last 2 sliders on your left control most of your bass. You slide those all the way, and you should be able to shake your walls, providing you have speakers with great bass response. I have the 8025 hooked to a vintage Onkyo tx-4500 receiver through some cerwin vegas (12 inch woofers, 70s model) and I blow my basement away! Hope this helps. D Lansing, MI.
A car's graphic equalizer is used for the stereo. The equalizer helps you achieve a more pleasant-sounding experience from your speakers.
Using a graphic equalizer setup and calibration disc in conjunction with a decibel meter is the best way to balance your graphic equalizer so that your system has a precise, accurate sound.
I have one of these graphic equalizers and if your amp has a dedicated output and input for a graphic via a phono connector then it will work. If it doesn't then you could add a phono connector switch. This device would have inputs for all your devices via phono connectors (cd player, computer, satellite receiver etc) and it would have one output which would go into the graphic equalizer then out of it into one input on your amplifier. You would then select the individual device on the phono connector switch which you are going to play and select the solitary input on your amplifier.
You must have 'tape monitor' button on your stereo Hook play in from equalizer out and rec out to eqalizer in. Then press tape monitor button.
If you replace the factory stereo and the van has a factory equalizer, you will need to remove the equalizer as well. The factory stereo/equalizer package is essentially one unit in two different cases. Neither is designed to work without the other. Best of my knowledge, neither will work without the other.

Not to the outputs. A band-pass equalizer works on input signals. To put it simply: if your stereo is the source of the sound, you would have to open the stereo up with schematics of its electronics in hand and find a suitable place to "pop in" an equalizer. If your stereo is only taking a signal from some other device and amplifying it (in essence doing the job of an amplifier with external signal source), put the equalizer between the source and the stereo. Please note that an antenna is NOT an "external source" - the radio frequencies are decoded INSIDE the stereo, and only then produce a valid "input signal" - all within the electronics of the stereo.
To connect an equalizer to the Fisher CA-871 stereo amplifier, first, locate the tape monitor loop or the auxiliary inputs on the back of the amplifier. Connect the output of the equalizer to the tape monitor or auxiliary inputs using RCA cables, and then connect the output of the amplifier to the equalizer's input. Make sure to set the tape monitor switch to the "on" position to route the audio through the equalizer. Adjust the equalizer settings as desired for optimal sound.
Put the E.Q. between the pre amp and the main amp.
To connect your stereo equalizer, first, ensure your audio source (like a receiver or amplifier) and speakers are powered off. Use RCA cables to connect the output of your audio source to the input of the equalizer, and then connect the equalizer's output to the speakers or the amplifier. Make sure to use the correct input and output jacks, and once everything is connected, power on the devices and adjust the equalizer settings to your preference.
They all will do a job just fine. But I prefer Audio Control.
If you are not happy with the sound of your car stereo, you can always buy a car audio equalizer. For the best quality sound this is a good option. It does come with a price though.
