Re: 1/2 DIN /// What to do with it?
I have the Metra Kit installed in my 2nd Gen CL.
DIN slot is occupied by my Sony Head Unit and lower 1/2 DIN location is empty.
I have Infinity Kappa Componets that I absolutely hate.
They were modified for my doors recently and not looking to replace them yet so my natural thought is to squeeze an equalizer in there.
Two questions:
* If Equalizer is your recommendation...which one?
* If not, what can I do with that wasted space?
Thanks in advance.

Keep your mints in there. A 20 round mag for your M4. About 600 business cards. Two rolls of Scotch tape. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. A 64 pack of Crayola Crayons. 4 chkn strips. Your Swiffer duster. 5 rabbit's feet. 3 decks of cards.

Sorry Noah...
The Audio Control THREE.1 would be a great choice. It's definitely the best 1/2 din EQ available. Another recommendation is the Alpine ERE-G190.
But then where will you keep your CHKN STRPs?

I am getting all types of shit back from my internet search.
Audio Control 3.1 is made by Audio Control?
Because that search yields so many things that contain those words and I'm not familiar with the product or manufacturer.

^ Ha ha...I thought you were trying to mess with the spelling by changing 3 into three.
Okay...now that I have my head screwed on I'll try looking into that again.
Thanks.

It is hard to use while I am driving because I hit two or three buttons at one time.
I'll check out the Kenwood.
Never had anything of theirs and not sure what they are doing now in comparison to their competition but I'll check it out.
Why would you need a wireless remote? Aren't your steering wheel control wired into the new deck?

I know another shop that could do it but would it work with any deck to my stock CL steering wheel controls?
Sounds like it would expensive for me in labor to do that.

I'm checking out the Audio Control Three.1
Would that be able to filter the "Metallic" sound out of my Infinity Kappa Perfects?
Just too bright for me and don't want to purchase new crossovers yet!
Just installed these muthaz!

As far as the steering wheel controls... what deck do you have? Some Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony and JVC decks have wired remote input and can be integrated with your steering wheel buttons pretty easily.

Your radio does have a wired remote input. This means that you can adapt your steering wheel buttons to it.
The THREE.1 is about the same depth as a standard din sized radio. I've actually flush mounted one into the "business card" drawer above the radio in the CL and TL. As you can see in the last picture the THREE.1 is as deep as the kit's pocket.

IMO Inf Coax are great off HU power, and that's it. Inf components have harsh highs and poor midbass. I never understood what the hype was surround Inf Perfects or Kappas.
I'm assuming the speakers are amped? An fix to consider is to find a textile tweeter w/ similar specs and swap out the Inf tweets, which I've never been a fan of.

Yeah...I heard good things about them which is why I had got them.
What is so weird about the whole thing is that it seems right after I got them was when I started hearing how shitty they were from other people.

If the issue has to do specifically with the tweeter.
I would be willing to swap it out.
Hmm...just figuring out how to replace that tweeter.
Might have to go back to the shop and ask around.
Shit...but everytime I go down there to ask questions...I always buy something!
