Okay i Know basically what the equaliser does But what does the section in the manual that sayes "Pressing switches between adjusting frequency, gain, Q factor and combined gain and Q factor."

What is Q factor etc i have no idea as i am non techy

I haven't got it in my car yet so it is just on house duties at the moment. Does this affect the equaliser as i see that i can't get four channel editing

FAQs can be truly wonderful things.

Oh, and by the way, the four-channel option is only available when it's plugged into the car.

read it got confussed i will wait till i get it in the car and fiddle with buttons till it sounds good.

Errrm - You shouldn't use the EQ-settings for making the Mk2 sound good. In the first line you should better adjust your amp correct so that you can't blow your speakers and that it sounds good. You have many possibilities on an amp (do you already have one?) to set the sound.
You can set the gain and the frequency for the channels. Best would be to adjust each channel standalone (disconnect eg. the front speakers and adjust the back speakers, then disconnect the back and adjust the front speakers. Then connect the sub and adjust it. Then connect all speakers and change the adjusting so that it sounds perfect)
Try some different settings of the amp. This is something you'll have to do only once till it fits your needs.
Be sure to have the Loudness setting on the Mk2 at level0 and the eq. in flat mode while you adjust the amp.
And be sure that you don't have the gain-selector on the amp at a too high level because this could cause some noise when increasing the empeg's volume. Better select a level somewhere in the middle between min and max.

If you've done this you won't have to change the EQ-settings too much. And they are just for fine-adjusting of the sound.

Have fun

Got my Mk2! # 080000143

This isn't about the Q factor, but when I put mine in the car I don't get a 4 channel equalizer, but the fader works. What could be the cause of this?

You have to switch it from 2-channel mode to 4-channel mode yourself. The ability to switch it into 4-channel mode is only available when it's in car. You need to specifically go down to that menu option in the equalizer and change it. After you've done that, the other 4-channel options become available to you.

Once you've set it up for 4-channel use and saved that as a permanent equalizer preset, then it will come up in 4-channel mode in the car after that. But by default, it's in 2-channel mode and you have to select it yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I am a moron. I should RTFM before I complain about something.
