Just a question, Gonna be Fixing up my EQ's tomorrow by hopefully getting rid of the awful popping sound they generate, Will a 5000uF Capacitor, hooked up in parallel (REM and GND) Delay the turn off of the EQ's for about 5 seconds or so?
Guy at jaycar told me it should do the job, and he looked like quite a nerd, so i trust what he said, just wondering if anyone has anything else to add before i do this tomorrow.

wire the EQ to be turned on with accessories or with the headunit first (opposite to whatever you have it now) see if that fixes it

I'm pretty sure i have the power spliced into the HU power as it is. I cant remember what i have the remote wire wired to, but if i changed it to ACC aswell would that be advised?

yeah try changing the remote wire to the opposite of where it is now for the EQ.

Accessories or headunit out.
