Boosting mids and cutting hi and lo with the 5 band passive here. Works wonders.
Thx for the tips guys.

If the cab block is linear (which it is unless you use alot of motor drive) then the order doesn't matter. EQ -> cab = cab -> EQ.
This seems important. Can anyone at Fractal confirm this? Thanks!
OK, I searched the Wiki and see that the cab block is linear. Since I'm technically challenged, I still don't understand what the hell that means *LOL* More importantly, it still doesn't confirm that it doesn't matter what order the cab and EQ block are in.
Linear means that the output is related to the input by a straight line: y = mx + b. Filters are example of linear systems. A cabinet IR is a filter. Distortion is an example of a nonlinear system.
Linear systems are associative and commutative. Associative means that a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c.
Commutative means that a + b = b + a or a * b = b * a. Therefore you can do cab -> eq (a * b) or eq -> cab (b * a).
The cab block is not "completely" linear if motor drive is non-zero but it is "wide sense stationary" so you can treat it as linear.
So am I reading Cliffs comments correctly that using the passive EQ in the amp block or putting one after the cab will sound the same?

That was the entire reason for my question. From his response, the answer is yes!
I don't think so. He was saying no difference in putting the EQ block before or after the cab.
As was mentioned above, the EQ in the amp block may be impacted by power amp distortion.

My question was not related to the EQ in the amp block.
