[QUOTE="dsw1204, post: 8385420, member: 663807"] Okay, so what you guys are telling me is that a DSP is basically an EQ with time alignment...or is this an over-simplification? This is what I have: I am currently running an Eclipse 55040 head unit. I have some Infinity Kappa coaxials in the front doors, and a couple of Eclipse 6x9s in the rear deck. No subs installed. These are being pushed by an old Alpine 3527S 4-channel (25w x 4 RMS @4 ohms) amp. I am looking to upgrade and I have recently acquired an Eclipse CD8051 (I love the older Eclipse head units) and also an Eclipse CD8454. Both are NOS. I've also purchased Hertz ESK 165L.5 two way components for the front stage, a small JL AUDIO CP106LG-W3V3 sub, and an Arc Audio KS900.6 amp. Will this amp be enough to push everything or will I need to bridge the Alpine amp to push the 6x9s? All this will be in a 1991 Honda Accord. Anyway, I know the CD8454 has some processing, but I was leaning toward the CD8051 to install at this time. And, it doesn't have any processing in it, correct? Thus, I was looking at an external DSP (or EQ?). [/QUOTE]
