[QUOTE="slater, post: 8891454, member: 691295"] So after having my 24 tacoma DSP system installed for a few months now & got to listen to it... focal k2 power 3way & coaxial in the rear, arc Blackbird & knighthawk, 1 jl 12tw3 d4 Went back to the tuner / installer, My observation, I felt there was too much sound at the front center, sounded loud, flat, couldn't hear rich fullness from the door 6.5's Also mentioned needed to take the nipples off the amps & let the power poor, which he did, the sub amp was turned down & had room for a substantial increase. So he agreed it needed some tweeks, really livened it up for the better... Way more balanced to my ears & sounds substantially richer, fuller, all the sound isnt coming from the center dash like a dsp is designed to do, to an extent. He mentioned something that Im questioning if I did the right thing, I know there is know wrong but this is abit different. He said theres a setting that turns off time alignment & it widens the from sound stage, not so much in your face & center. My son & I both listened to it on & off multiple times & thought it sounded better off. Sucks that you can have so many different tunes & its not always one right & others wrong... Sounds good, still get movement between various instruments & what not, not sure what ill be missing by leaving it "off"??? Am I selling myself short by doing so? Make sense to anybody that actually knows what theyre doing, unlike me... He wasnt pushing for it but he mentioned with a controller, he can add multiple tunes, just at the moment feels like just more crap to have to mess with? So does anyone run there dsp system like this, or is it better to find more balance & leave it on? hopefully I get some feed back, thanks... [/QUOTE]
