yes i'm glad i took your advice and went with the DSP, its really night and day! I'm still a bit confused about the voltages, the shop warned me it might clip or i might blow my speakers due to the voltage handling limitations of the DSP compared to my amp. what am i actually doing voltage...

Ok good to know. so after studying up on the DSP functionality I noticed the shops mixer settings seemed odd. They had it so “In 1” fed all 4 front ch’s and “In 3” fed both sub ch’s. I tried setting In 1 to ch’s 1, 3 & 7 and In 2 to ch’s 2, 4 & 8 (not sure if the sub should be getting full...

Thanks for the eq suggestions, i noticed the x-over was set to 3000hz on the DSP but it looks like my JL C3’s response starts st 4000hz, is that an issue?

Oh god, i hope not 😆 So i think i have it back fairly close to how it was, difficult without having the exact EQ settings and just the graph. I noticed from one of the screenshots i took the shop had the right tweeter at 180 deg. Im assuming that means reversed polarity, guess i should put it...

Yeah i did check all the other presets too and nothing saved in there. I think its crazy you can overwrite 2.5 hrs of tuning set up just by hitting “save” on a preset, there should be some sort of warning that you are about to overwrite something. I also didn’t notice an option to copy a...

so update, I did pick up the Dayton DSP and had it installed and tuned at the local shop - passives x-overs removed. The harshness is gone and the sound is way better -enjoyable again - but I still want to tweak it to my liking, it’s still a bit flat sounding and the staging could be better...

if i go this DSP route i'm wondering about adding the rear speakers back in (they are currently disconnected behind the glove box where the old factory amplfier was). if i run another pair of rca's from the DSP's ch 7 & 8 for the rears how would i connect them to the 5.1 amp as i'd be using the...

damn ok, you make a compelling argument, as do most of the others. thanks for taking the time to explain it so well and for the product suggestions. i guess i'm just having a hard time reconciling the fact that others have upgraded their car audio while keeping the same factory deck and being...

Hey Jeff, i agree with you that its quite possible its a phase issue or reflections issue but i want to start out knowing i have a clean flat signal leaving the head unit. here is another post with the same head unit as mine, he has a picture with scope on the output verifying it to be clean...

ok i had actually researched the signal from the head unit before booking it in at the shop, the shop just confirmed it. it could all be wrong i guess but i just want to rule out things in order to find the source of the problem. here is a quote from the honda audio forum that states the same...

Hey Jeff that’s a great detailed response, thank you. However Im pretty sure the shop confirmed its a clean flat signal coming out of the head unit and all the x-overs and filtering is done at the factory amplifier - which was bypassed.

Ok thanks Bajbass, ill try switching the polarity on the tweeters

So i recently had a local shop upgrade the audio on my honda accord, the problem is the tweeters sound harsh (at least i assume its the tweeters) especially guitars on rock and metal. it's worse obviously as the volume increases. its been back to the shop twice so i think at this point i need...
