Ed has the ural for sale for real now?

im trying to figure out if i should get one of these over a h701 combo and new alpine HU

I have no personal experience with the Alpine combo, but have personally listened to the ural HU in Locotony's RSX several times over the last week. I've never heard a HU with more flexibility and amazingly flat/warm SQ. My Excelon x-889 pales in comparison. Its a short but sweet review, I can give a more accurate report on the imaging/staging after he works out all the kinks we all have in a car.

I was out of town and don't want to argue redundant and basically pointless and trite amp/eq topics in a thread about head units anymore, and I am actually curious about the HU now that it is (amazingly enough) in the US.

On topic:

For the owners of the deck, how does the sub preout work? I think I remember it had limited x-over and EQ abilities? I'm just curious how it works because people had been talking about it as a deal breaker for the deck during the pre-order.

I was going to get one but when all hopes were lost, I turned to the 701.

If you want more eq options, get the 701.

I have a P9 so I'm not planning on getting one of these, I was just wondering what the deal was on the sub channel. These units are definitely interesting as a single piece serving as a source unit, EQ, and crossover.

sub channel = sum of channels 1 and 2

cross ch 1+2 @ 60hz hpf, and sub is passed at 60hz hpf

time alignment and eqing also affect sub, which may or may not cause problems

Oh, thanks. I assume you mean the sub is LPFed where the mids are HPFed (seems like you had a typo)? That does take away a bit of flexibility.

IIRC, the sub has a lpf of 80 which you CAN NOT CHANGE. If you hp ch 1+2, you also hp the sub.

IIRC, the sub has a lpf of 80 which you CAN NOT CHANGE. If you hp ch 1+2, you also hp the sub.

You want to use 1-2 as either a bandpass or HP above 30 hz the sub channel is a set lp at either 80 hz at 24 db or 60 hz at 12 db (dependant on the slope setting you use) and is affected by the eq but no TA for it (may be added in future firmware). I am only going to be running 3-way active so the setup will be 1-2 on the mids, 3-4 on the tweets and 5-6 on the sub, right now I am just running 1-2 for the front stage and 5-6 on the subs as I need to add additional wiring to run active. As for the rest of the xover functions for channels 1-6 they are infinitly variable as either HP, LP, or BP with a frequency range from 10 hz to 20Khz.

Anyone know any more info on the Brax head units from the beginning of this post?
