Hey guys. I've read high and low around the interwebs about pros and cons about either audiocontrol or jl audio when it comes to their gear. I've got a build I'm planning right away and I'm really stuck on what I want to put in for summing/EQ etc. And maybe this has been beaten to death but I'm not really asking how to do anything, I'm just kinda looking for opinions from people who might have been or are in my situation.*

Vehicle:
2013 F150 FX4 Eco with Sony System

Build items:

2- Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1000F subs
Kenwood Excelon XR1800P comps for front
Kenwood Excelon XR1800 coaxial for rear
Kenwood Excelon XR900-5 amp*

Here's the thing I'm stuck on. Because of the signal summing, poor EQ and all that jazz, I need someone to CONVINCE me why I should go:

Audiocontrol LCQ-1 or DQ-61

Or

CL-SSI and CL441 DSP with some sort of equalizer.*

I really need convincing because I'm gonna have this truck awhile and I want a great system. And just so you know, both these options are in the budget.*

Trying not to have a brand battle or anything, I'm just looking for input.*

Thanks.

How much is the budget? I would look at the JBL ms8 or Rockford 3sixty.3. They will take care of all summing, crossovers, and EQ in one box.

Rav3nwolf

Those are in the budget as well. I'll take a look at that option as well. It's just I've really only been reading about the other two options in most of our trucks is all. Wonder if the cost is most people's issue?

The cost might be an issue. The JBL and Rockford pieces can be intimidating as well, and offer more adjustability than most would ever need. I like the ms8 personall for a fully active system

Rav3nwolf

Thanks for the response King. 3sixty looks intense but kind of what I might be looking for. Guess it's mostly time consuming when tweaking the sound.

You probably wouldn't go wrong with any of them, I went with the 3Sixty.3 in my truck because I always EQ. Not all that time consuming *IF* you buy (or borrow) an RTA, I don't recall what I paid for my Phonic but it wasn't super crazy expensive.

Just had one installed in my 13 f150 and it sounds amazing
I had the lcq1 in it before,it sounded good when it work but that was only 75 percent of the time
