[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8875198, member: 689267"] You will get a boatload of opinions on various types. I will say this. Since the new release of the AudioControl firmware/interface compared to the older version that gave some people trouble and the others (and I've worked with both the Helix and the AC) all of the ones mentioned have pros/cons. When it comes to a person wanting to get into the semi-serious side of DSP and not spend exorbitant amounts of time learning/tuning, the Audiocontrol is easier than the Helix. Since those are the two I've tried to use, those are what I can comment on. The helix does have more significant options such as different filter options and differential rear fill but it is takes a lot more knowledge of how to use it to take advantages of the extra benefits it provides - most end up paying someone to remote tune and if that is on the plate, by all means go for the Helix. I would add that friends of mine in local shops that have used the JL, Helix and AC say the same thing. Helix is the tuners paradise, if you are a serious balls to the walls tuner, otherwise they use the JL or the AC. Not right or wrong, just shared experience. * I will add that the AC support and available tutorial information as is the Helix are definitely top notch. [/QUOTE]
