[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 7010894, member: 560148"] I've heard one setup with an MS-8 the auto tune is VERY good. We retuned it just for me in a matter of minutes. I picked his old crossover points, a few quick chirps, looked where it told me to and BAM. Stage was center of the dash, up high and tonality was VERY good. Midrange and upper end was perfect, I wanted a little more punch around 60hz, a quick trip to the 32 band EQ and I was done. As I said the "big" EQ you can't mess with. The processor uses it's a computer to adjust it for each speaker when you first calibrate your setup. Once it builds a flat response you get a 32 band EQ that you can use to contour the sound to your tastes. . JBL spent years trying to make an auto EQ that woudl work in a car and they succeeded. The headset style mic is what really makes it work, IMO. Your body and head are included into the measurement, it really seems to hear what you hear.
