    question for the stereo gods.

    this is my set up:
    c43 HU, SOny MK2 eq, sony amp for my highs 200 x4 rms, fosgate bd1000 for my sub,

    what i wanted to do was use the fader knob on the dash that fades from left to right on the older e30s, i wanted to use it as my sub level control.
    But it didnt work, i ran the + sub line out of the eq directly into it, but it makes no difference when u move the knob back and forth. i hooked it up so when the knob is in the middle there is 0 ohms resistance on the line, and when the knob is ll the way towards 1 side there is the most resistance.
    has anyone tried this, or know why it wouldnt work?

        the oem e30 fader is high level pot (speaker level), and shouldn't be used on the line level (rca) signal imho.
