You should be able to use any EQ with any head unit, as long as they use rca inputs to hook up. E Bay has a ton of EQ's on there for under $200. I bought a new Kenwood 6042A EQ off of E Bay that I decided not to use. If your interested I will sell it to you for $120 shipped. It is a 1/2 din 9/11 band EQ, with F/R/and SUb output. If not, there are a ton of EQ's out there for descent prices. Good Luck!

Is there such a thing as an EQ with Front/Rear/Sub in and Front/Rear/Sub out??

all the eq's i'm finding have Front/Rear in and Front/Rear/sub out.

should i just buy one of these EQ's and just use it to control my mid's and high's

and have the sub output from my headunit run straight to my amp and forget it trying to go through an eq??

anyone know of any eq with what i mentioned in the first line?

Your EQ is devided in frequency ranges. So basically if you want to play with sub, you use regulators up to 80hz, midbass is usually 80-150 and the rest is your tweets. So basically it would be exactly as you asked in a first line.

Did I explain it right? IM me, I was very bisy over weekend...should be better during weekdays...we can talk.
