too many eq’s

What Steven said above, AND:

ABSOLUTELY false. Yes, a higher SNR is better, BUT the SNR is FIXED, and is determined by the topology of the amplifiers and signal components in the chain. The knob on the end of an amplifier is NOT a gain control, it is a signal matching device. The gain of an amplifer is also fixed; this knob simply matches THAT signal level to the (topologically fixed) GAIN of the amplifier. If you have a level matching range of .2v to 8v, and you have a deck with 8V outputs, all the "gain control" does is minimize the input signal to keep the input signal from overdriving the final gain stage. In the case of THIS example amplifier, the gain stage is SET PERMANENTLY to be driven to full output by (somewhere close to) a .2v input. If your system is "gain" matched correctly, your SNR will be at the best it can be, no matter WHERE the "gain" (the knob on the end of your amp) is set.

True, but I think you are misinterpreting what we are saying. An amplifier that is 50% efficient, producing 100 watts AT the speaker terminals, will also be producing 100 watts in heat. This means that to PRODUCE 100 watts of output, it will demand 200 watts of input. This will hold true no matter WHAT the output power is. 50 watts out will demand 100 watts in... MOST class A/B amplifiers are actually around 60% efficient, so the heat portion will be a bit lower than the output portion, but you get the idea.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

i really appreciate all the input ya'll have helped me with but one last thing what is wrong with using the eq's ive been thinking today i have the matching crossfire xover that goes with the eq it has 2 input (1 highpass & 1 low pass) and 3 out puts f,r, and sub is that ok to do that set up i mean really good system installs ive heard had multiple large eq's why did they use'm im mean it must help a little for sound quality right93 diamante
