[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8720151, member: 650438"] this literally discredits that source completely. I'm guessing he's never been to any actual sound quality competitions for example MECA or IASCA but then again thats a honda forum, not a sound quality forum so I highly doubt he even tested the signal with an RTA. In any serious competition No one would be caught dead without a DSP if they plan on winning. The ones that dont place at all are the ones that think their speakers and high dollar amps will do everything while the DSP setups are the only ones taking trophies. There's too many phase issues and reflections that causes peaks and dips in a car environment. The only way to get a flat response is with crossovers and a comprehensive parametric EQ. It still stands, you need EQ and run in network mode to solve any of your issues. No tuning capabilities means you are stuck with what you have which is playing the acoustics lottery and losing badly. I've also done installs in recent gen honda accords. The stock head unit sounds like absolute ****. Swap to a pioneer double din and the difference was massive across the board even before I started on any kind of tuning. [/QUOTE]
