Need an Additional Processor

I would like to get a list of processors/eq's that are work with non-specific headunits.

I am thinking about purchasing one for my car, I have looked at the 3sixty.2 and the AudioControl DQX (?) yea I think that is the one.

anyway, I think I need more control with my system...can anyone help out?

Yeah Joe if you want x-overs built in look into the DQXS. It has about 3 times the EQ points of the DQX, and would work pretty well with your set up.

If you don't need the x-over, I would go with the DQS. Its 30x6 GEQ, and 2x6 PEQ. Thats fully adjustable between each side.

Honestly I am planing the DQS as soon as Don gets a few in. With the 8455 it will give me a 7 band PEQ on my tweets, a 7 band PEQ on my mids, and 2 bands on my sub. Then I have seprate left and right 1/3 octave graphic to fine tune everything.

see, that is what I am hoping to get. I like the look of the passives in the kicks and the old rear speaker location, but I want more capability. I am also thinking about finding another 2.250 for my midbass drivers. Then re-wire it to have amp for tweets, amp for mids, amp for midbass, and amp for sub.

how about the arc audio dxe?

Yeah it doesn't look to bad Sinister, but with only 2 inputs we would both loose out on some of the current capabilities. I do like the idea of using a 48db slope on the sub (if you have enough mid to cover it).

In my case the 25 band PEQ (if I am reading the specs right) would be nice, but wouldn't address my need for seprate right and left channel adjustment.

I would like to know more. Any sugestions on where to look, or am I corect about the specs?

sounds to me like I would probably need two...Or I am really confused right now. Either way, it makes sense to me.

I am curious about the RF 3Sixty.2 for these duties. I want to know the price, I found out they are shipping now, so availability shouldn't be an issue, but I need to know price. I think it is exactly what I need. Any ideas?

I don't know Joe. I couldn't really find a good break down for they ARC processor. My best guess, yeah you would need at least 2.

I looked into the RF for a while, and was pretty impressed with it. I need to go back and look it over again, but something about it turned me away. I know it had what I want EQ wise, but I don't think I could justify the extra money for the other options that I didn't really need.

don't know much about processors, Just starting with sq kind of stuff but am interested.... but I always tried to help so have you thought of maybe a saladshooter it will slice, dice and basically chop your signal to serve :P actually I have been looking at the audio control and arc processors as I intend to set the wife's tibby up for sq once I get the shop going to show customers that there is more to audio than just boom, I would like to see an FAQ about what to look for in a signal processor and picking the right one (hint hint GlassWolf)

I too am considering it. Looks like it'll be around $700 for the 3Sixty.2, BUT you have to shell out extra for the Palm Pilot (with Bluetooth) to be able to control the processor. So you're looking at around $1000, but you have the benefit of integration with a factory HU, and the benefit of not having to permanently mount a controller, great for stealth installs (that's why I'm considering it).

The Alpine H-701 is another candidate.
