Most decent DSP`s that`ll do just about everything will start around the 500.00 range and go up.

I do like JL`s approach by using the Fix and the Twk. Both pieces will fall in the all the DSP one will need range. Plus, to have one piece with the main logic chip handling the de-equalization and the other piece with the same/another chip handling everything else, makes this combo very powerful.

Every other full DSP uses one chip and they all basically use the same chip.

If you go the DSP route, don`t forget about the cost of tuning if you can`t do it yourself.

just because something is older doesn't mean it isn't worth using. aside from my f150 my vehicles are 11, 31 and 34 years old but they all still perform just as they should they haven't made an alto mobile falstaff in longer than the ms-8 but it still sounds amazing in my car...

Yes it does. You can flatten any set of outputs and then EQ to your liking. It's a sweet unit. It's just sitting on my workbench calling my name lol.

My last build was a Clarion DRZ9255 into a 6to8v8 with RCD, a pair of Mosconi AS 200.4's, Focal Utopia Be 3 ways and an Illusion Carbon C12XL.
This time will be OEM head into a 6to8v8 with RCD, 3 Mosconi One amps for the size, Illusion Carbon C6, C6CX and C12.
I want to 100% hide everything this time.

I`ve always like those Illusion subs with their unconventional design and the location of the magnet but I hate the price.

I`m with you on hiding everything and that`s how my system will be.

Am I correct that if I keep the Illusion coaxs, I only need the Mosconi 4to6 DSP? It's if I go the components up front I then need the 6to8?

GABAR

Since you`re wanting a really nice processor, i`d go with the 6to8 so you`ll have better options for future system expansion and it`ll work with the components or coax speakers.

The current F150 is set up perfect for a killer 3-way front soundstage and this can be a future upgrade for you and the 6to8.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I really appreciate it!

FYI - DM-810 and auto-equalization:

That is very cool. That's the same thing the JL Audio Fix does. That's the only 2 processors that do that and this Audiocontrol is the only one that does that in the same chassis as the manual DSP like time alignment, crossovers and EQ. That looks like a very nice DSP.
