The P99 it's a DSP it self, and many others like Bit-One, Mosconi has one too, Audio Control, JBL MS-8, even Alpine and many more.... they could get very expensive though (average $1k). but I'm not your best sales guy. I like the P99 because it's all in one and works really good.

With a DSP there many functions that let you control, like:

-Levels
-Cross Over points
-Slopes
-HPF
-LPF
-Phase
-Time Alignment
-Left + Right Equalization
-and more... But these are the ones I really like!


They are small like a HU and/or big as a small amp.

i will look into one im not much fan for alpine,kenwood,pioneer,jvc

i am going to do some research i have used audio control many years ago but i am open to most other brands depending on size and price. i am very picky though looks like user friendly is a must for me and i know i want to hide mine. less seen the better for me the audison looks pretty cool from the pic you posted . you know 26 years ago i was using sixes and eights for subs with carver car amps if you have ever seen some older car audio products before ?

Also look into the Arc Audio processor. There are others out there as well...zapco has one as well as PPI.

I've used the bit one and bit ten with great results.

Now... after running the RTA and tweaking I did notice that the center image moved a little bit closer, to the left and came down a little bit too.

It's time for another Left+Right EQ centering Frequencies to bring the stage up and centered again... followed by some T/A adjustments (Time alignment)

Tuning, tuning and tuning, you click here and then you have to half click there, back and forth... This is FUN!

Unhappy

Sqcomp... and YarisWorld members....

In a short notice I'm writing here to let you guys know that sadly I'm going to...

sell my Yaris...

so the process of bringing my Yaris back to Stock will start soon, unless there is anybody interested in the way it is right now.

I haven't come up with a price (stock or as is) but if any body in YW is interested let me know before I put it for sale in my Local Area.

Yeah! Get a Nissan Juke!

Perhaps the ugliest vehicle on the planet...next to a Nissan Cube.

Where the hell do people come up with these suggestions? ...Especially on a Yaris forum.



versus something like this perhaps:




...Just a thought. A Merc might suit you Derick...

My cousin just bough a Juke and I told him if that was a Joke! lol

He let me drive it for a while and it's a nice car to drive, specially because the TURBO (maybe if I was 20 years younger that would be the car for me) but not much impressed to really own one at my age.

on the other hand... CLA it's TURBO too I like it SQcomp! and according to MB it gets 38 MPG on High way, Yaris claims 36 MPG and I'm getting 42 MPG

The CLA looks promising!

Here is the civilian version in white!

I'd sell the kit for $25 plus shipping perhaps.

I should start making these kits for people. Some of the grounding kits that we see sold for much more deliver a lot less value.

It's interesting how a lot of vehicle manufacturers are leaning toward the 2.0 liter engine. I'm seeing caddy use the 2 liter turbo as well as Merc...
