Because the problem you are trying to fix is never a single frequency. Just like an EQ, the peaks and dips in the frequency response have a Q factor...it's either a wide (low Q) peak/dip or a narrow (high Q) peak/dip. Adjustable Q allows you to really narrow in on the specific problem you are trying to fix. Long story short parametrics typically have fewer bands than graphic, but parametric is more adjustable. So parametric is better at tackling specific problem areas in the frequency response whereas graphic is better at carving out the overall frequency response and tonality of the system. Both are effective, just at different things.

IMO the 80/88prs has one thing for novice tuners that no other headunit has and that is L/R independent eq. HUGE for tuning. Also, most decks have parametric which in reality are more effective when utilized correctly but way harder to use so it really gives the prs a monstrous edge for first time active IMO. Only thing better is a processor that can be controlled by a touch screen in the dash. When new you MUST have tuning up front and access to it at all times. Really shortens the learning curve which is far from trivial.

Use bitpusher

for 1 or both?? I would say a 5500 would work good for 1 of them but can take a lot more for both

That fur only takes away pressure... But I guess it'll look cool on SMD and youtube.
