    Need advice: Bit10d or DQ61

    Perfect, I was hoping the RTA was not necessary because I would prefer to use the shop that I am familiar with. Plus, they are supposed to be getting the bit tune in a few weeks for a follow up tune once the speakers are broken in. Thanks

    Need advice: Bit10d or DQ61

    Yes, everything will be purchased, installed and tuned by an authorized dealer. Thanks for your comment and confirming my impression of the products! I don't mind spending the extra for the bit, but wanted to confirm that it wouldn't be an unnecessary waste of money. One other question. How...

    Need advice: Bit10d or DQ61

    I am having one of these two options installed to finish my first SQ setup this week and would appreciate any advice. This will be added to a system with components up front and 2-10's in a sealed box in the back. The DQ61 is marginally cheaper, but not enough to sway my vote if the Bit10d is...

    M500 w/ SWR-10D4 Type-R. Is it enough?

    It depends on your def of loud, but I used to run an M500 (BC was 575 watts @ 2ohms) pushing 2 10" MTX's subs at 2 ohms (rated at 200-400 RMS each) in an SQ setup and the bass was very clean and was loud enough for most with enough SPL to feel the kick drum even on double bass. The M500 amp...

    Need advise on DSP or LOC choice for my 1st SQ system

    I plan on having the Bit10d or DQ61 installed to finish my first SQ setup this week and would appreciate any advice. From my online research, it looks the Bit10d is a much better piece with more EQ bands, TA via computer vs knob on the DQ61 and it includes cross overs if I want to go active and...

    best amp options under $500?

    Amp will be used to power 3 way front stage (focal 165f3) Need at least 75 wpc and would like something in the 100-125 wpc range. Got a good deal on a PDX-F4, but not sure if i should go with AB class instead of D. Currently, I only need 2 channels, but 4 channel would be optimal to provide...

    focal 165fx vs voce k6

    I agree that the k2p's and older focal lines are painfully too bright, but i have demo'd the new flax series on multiple occasions and found the tweeter to be much more natural sounding and tolerable for extended periods even on axis in a demo board. With tuning, i think they could be fine for...

    focal 165fx vs voce k6

    Which speaker would be the best for heavier alternative (ie. Chevelle, Korn, Rage etc.) or metal? I also listen to traditional/classic rock, blues, acoustic and the various dance club genres, but these styles are the secondary focus and combine to represent 30-40% of my listening. I don't need...
