I bought this last year for my first system, and I must say, this thing was simple for me when I didn’t know much about EQ’s or how to set them. I ended up taking the whole system out and I put this somewhere that I haven’t been able to find. Let me just put it this way, I plan on buying another one of these and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something simple, and not wanting to break the bank. It lights up blue behind the knobs which was perfect with my radio screen and the blue LED’s I had under my dash.
