$350 used for a higher end DSP and about $200 new for a good dsp with basic functionality

Ampere Audio JM1 - Car Audio Classifieds

Helix DSP - Car Audio Classifieds

or a soundstream harmony or ppi dsp 88r, $200 off ebay

alot of people tell me to stay away from that ppi dsp 88r. I have also been told that the harmony isn't all that great. I do know where i can get a harmony for 100 bucks used, think i should try it out or save up for a minidsp cd-6x8?

if you can get it for $100, i say try it out. Do you have a good understanding of DSP in general though? Some higher end units have a lot of processing powers and can be quite complicated

try it out if you just need basic 4 way active network crossovers with decent slope options with 31 band EQ and time alignment.

You'll always have people thinking paying 600 dollars for a processor is the way to go or else its trash, it just really boils down to what you really need and that ppi/soundstream processor are way more advanced SQ tuning options wise than almost any head unit out there minus the 99prs stage 4 pioneer.

yeah i think i might try it out, with the ss harmony seeing how the guy is willing to let it go for $70 bucks now. Hell if i don't like it I could possibly just sell it for a little more than what I bought for lol. I'm going to run an all active front stage 4 6.5s pair of 8" mids and three sets of tweets. I also have a chance to grab a rockford fosgate 3sixty for $120 bucks but don't know if a 6 channel dsp like that one would be enough for what I got speaker wise.

You need the 8 channel. The last par of channels is always a subwoofer channel

yeah the with the soundstream harmony won't ship. thats a downer! I'm going to jut save up a little more and get the minidsp 6x8 since i see its making a little noise and its only 50 bucks more than the ppi 88r, a hundred bucks more if I get the mic to go with it.

 

[dailyrider123]

ok everybody Im just letting you guys know I just ordered a dsp! I went with the ppi precision power 88r I wanted to go with the minidsp 6x8 but I figured the ppi would be more user friendly, plus I got it for $195.00 shipped bnib so I'm happy.
