Default Clarion EQ install pics

Hi guys,
I'm kinda happy with how this turned out so I wanted to share...
I needed an EQ because my tweeters from the Infinity REF6030CS were ripping my head off, even with 9dB cut on the band 5 of the 5 band EQ in my Kenwood Excelon 994. Except for that, the speakers sound very good, especially given their price.
I started looking at EQs and found this Clarion EQS746 that had great reviews and as you can see by my speaker choice, I'm on a budget.
I mounted it with 3M doube-sided foam trim tape because I don't like drilling or cutting unless I have to. The wires and cables push through the existing vents.
Sound-wise, I think it's great. I am able to dial down the 6K AND 16K that was killing me, nice control over the lows too.

Thanks guys.
I've now spent a couple days and can confirm that it's a perfect spot! It's really easy to adjust it while seated in the driver's seat and you don't need to look at it. Nice little EQ too!

How did you connect the 12v, Rem and Ground? did you just tap it into the head unit?

I would assume he tapped them off of the amp since it is most likely mounted in the trunk.

Exactly
Power goes to a distribution block (a 5 farad cap actually) then to the amps and EQ. Ground is a nearby bolt. Remote is just passed from the amp.
