the EQX is an EQUALIZER with a single set crossover point! if they are the same as they were back in the day, the crossover points could only be changed using a prebuilt resistor IC or if you were handy you could build your own crossover packs using high grade resistors.

if you are looking for an external crossover your best is choosingone of these models here

if you are budget oriented you might want to go with a deck with built in crossovers like the one above or one of the Kenwood excelon models... they have nicely adjustable crossovers too
