Thanks - unfortunately is was a very basic test. He asked me if I wanted to be referred for additional tests and hearing aids which I declined to do at this time. I will have to look into doing further testing, sigh. Old age sucks.

I've got a Dayton DSP, tuned by someone else. I've got old ears and after a recent hearing test at the docs, he told me what I already knew which was that I don't hear the high frequencies very well at this point. I've gravitated towards enjoying bass heavy tunes now. But when something comes...

Yes I know I probably should have bought a device specific to car audio but I just felt like splurging on an EBAY $3 special. Now I am at a bit of a loss how to properly wire it. I understand how it works, almost. 12V & Ground is obvious on the left side, that operates the timer device. The...

Took your advice and bought the Dayton. Sounds excellent. Used a local certified installer to handle that and some other items on my checklist. Thanks for the suggestions.

The company that makes and sells the harness I used to install my JL 6 channel amp was unfamiliar with the Dayton DSP, but he warned me that I need to use a DSP that has balanced inputs. Can't find the details of this, but don't see anywhere on Dayton info if the DSP accepts balanced or not. Any...

Very informative post, thank you again. Just for clarification, the MINI sends the signal to the front door speakers with some kind of in-line crossover which then feeds the tweeters. The rears are the same set up. The under seats aren't really true sub woofers, but they provide enough bass for...

Thanks for the info - one question, if my h/u has fronts, rears and subs (6 rca's in all) which ones go into the processor? F & R only. Do I keep the sub as is in the amp or do I replace that with the 5/6 line outs from the processor? One more ?, does the Bluetooth input override what is...

Imagine what I would have got here if I actually asked a question. LOL If you care I already upgraded my system with all new speakers and a JL Audio 6 channel amp. I posted a question elsewhere and I want to accomplish two things; 1. secondary source of music input from a DAP. 2. Some sound...

Thanks, but in the MINI F56S, the h/u is an integral part of the car. It reads the oil level (no dipstick), shows the TPMS as well as many other diagnostics. None of the aftermarket h/u's will duplicate these features. I'd have to find a way to relocate this in a tiny car with limited room. Not...

HAVE: MINI F56S with upgraded speakers and JL Audio 6 channel amp. WANT: The h/u is a small cumbersome LED screen which is hard to negotiate while driving. I'd like the option of adding a secondary music source, like a digital audio player or tablet and go directly to the amp. The amp is taking...

Hey all, First quality stereo upgrade for me was back in the 80's. Left it to an after market shop and the end result was a wire harness fire. Amazingly back in those days the BMW dealer said nothing and replaced everything like new with no charge to me. I haven't done much with upgrades since...
