[QUOTE="HoneyBadgerRy, post: 8617817, member: 667692"] So ELI5, what all would be included in a setup like that. Say for a head unit I chose the Pioneer AVH-2300NEX, which I assume would send 6 sets of preouts to a DSP like a Zapco DSP-Z8 or an Alpine PXA-H800 without much adjustment of eq on the head unit itself (or would it) from there I would run the preouts on the DSP to whatever amp setup say a PDX-F6 or a Z-150.4 SP or maybe something cheaper, (I assume I leave all the hpf lpf turned off on the amp) and then just run speaker wire to the speakers (some 8" driver and a nice set of tweeters which I'm sure could get argued about forever on the forum). Then spend some money putting sound deadener inside the doors and behind the doors cards. (I see alot of people with these cars like to take those foam speaker baffles and cut the bottom half out for airflow on these doors, I assume I'd do the same with any speakers.) Is there something I'm missing on acoustically tunning the car? What about tuning the DSP, can I use a microphone to get me pretty ballpark, then just tweak to taste, because all that adjustability is intimidating. [/QUOTE]
