Introduction
Welcome to the Arc Audio family of performance signal processors. A blend of Arc Audio's
lengthy experience in performance car audio design combined with our highly skilled
engineering staff. You are now the proud owner of the IDX or XEQ. A unique combination
of the highest quality analog components and precision engineering. Whether you are a
competitor or simply enjoy faithfully reproduced music, you will definitely appreciate how
these products make your system sound. These components aren't the easiest to
understand and use. They require a good understanding of audio and the terms and
language used to describe it. You don't have to be a genius but a bit of experience and
common sense will go a long way. This manual is written in 2 parts IDX and XEQ. Each of
these units can be used separately or together to become the Control Center. Before you
begin read this manual cover to cover (does anyone ever really read the manual?).
Carefully design your system and decide on your basic crossover points. This will give you
a good starting point and a reference to return to when you begin final tuning. If at any
point you begin to feel overwhelmed, return to your local Arc Audio dealer and let the
trained professionals install or tune it for you.

Advanced Features
Direct Sub Input
The XEQ is equipped with a "Direct Sub Input" That allows you to take
full advantage of modern head units with Special features like, Sub
Output, Time Alignment, Bass Restoration, And Sub Crossover. You paid
for these features. We feel you should be able to use them and still enjoy
the benefits of a high quality in-dash EQ. By connecting your head unit
Sub out to the "Direct Input" All these features still work. All the signal
from your Sub out is directed to the Master Volume then to the Sub Level
and Sub Crossover. With the XEQ you get the best or both worlds.
