I miss being able to raise and lower a certain frequency at a certain Q with my old Kenwood deck. My new Kenwood can't do it...but I still love it. I had 40Hz raised 4db at a Q of 1.50. I'm looking to do the same thing (or better) like my old deck and is wondering what processor would be right for me. I don't want something like the epicenter that "creates" lower bass from the higher ones. I just want to raise the lower bass already present and that's it. Thanks!

 

Which new Kenwood do you have?

 

Epicenter, or Soundstream BX15. both do the same thing and recreate bass based on harmonics, but also work as paramentric bass EQ's

 

I have the Kenwood Excelon kdc-x693. I used to have a US amps Bass Mekanik (sorry, can't post URLs of it yet) and it made the bass sound muffled and took away that "punch" you'd get without it. Is the Epicenter/BX15 going to do the same thing as they all reconstruct bass or does the para-bass EQ counter for that? Also, is the Phoenix Gold Basscube worth while?
