JL Clean Sweep/ Rockford 360/ Audio Control Lc6 or MTX Re-Q5

[hemi4me? 10+ year member]

Hey guys hoping someone has used any of these and can give me some good decision making info! I have a CAN BUS system in my Chrysler 300c SRT and I heard these all will do the trick for me.

I will be using this item one of 2 ways, and I am not sure exactly how yet. The first way will be for just 4 channels - first the front 2 channels will control a 3 way set from either Dynadio, or DLS with a passive xover and a 6.5, 4" and tweet the rear 2 channels will run 2 ID10s in the rear deck. OR option 2 I will be using 3 channels one for a midbass driver or some sort in the doors and a 2 channels for 4" component set in the dash and a 3rd channel for sub.

I really like my nav deck, and I dont really want to replace it. I like the look of the MTX piece but I bet its noisy. One thing I care about only is that I get no noise from engine whine, round noise or anything that will annoy me.

If anyone has some input on these items I would love to hear from you! I think I might go with the JL but you never know with me.

i love my 3sixty.2, does everything plus some, i dont know about the others too good, but i dont think they have the amazing customization like the 360, or can you do it on a laptop/ pda from the front seat?

.1 is ehh.... .2 has everything

What if I dont know how to program or use it?

I am confused about this post to Ebay. Its only $160.00 and some have it for $220.00?

Is this all I need? Or do I need this plus another part too?

How about this one? I think it might be a PITA to tune tho. I dont know how to do all the EQ crap.

The RE Q so far hasnt given me any noise in the installs I have done, including in dodge vehicles so that shouldnt be a concern, it is a less flexible piece as the 360 and the cleansweep both have more options, but the MTX piece does its job well

Stay away from the Rockford piece....junk is all i have to say... the bluetooth chip does and will go out...after we replaced the 4th unit in the same install in a 1 month span...we scrapped it.. With the equipment you are looking at why not go with an amp(s) with built in processing, i.e. Zapco DC series? Just a thought... I would do the JL Cleansweep or even the Massive Audio Iris... but anything other than the 360.2

i have a cleansweep and love it. Right now i have the cleansweep then to the pxa-h701. I used the cleansweep before by itself and wow its worth it. No noise at all, super easy to setup. You just have to use their little volume control, which can be mounted about anywhere. It calibrates in 20 seconds, and the cd it comes with has pink noise, silence, in phase and out of phase talking, 20-200hz, 200-2000hz, 2000 to 20000hz and so on. Really really easy to use. Never used any of the others though.

Massive Audio huh? I am using the factory deck so the amp thing wont work right?

Cool. I guess I will look a that one harder.

The Zapco DC amps have built in fully adjustable crossovers...you can choose, hp, lp, or bandpass... you can also choose between butterworth or linkwitz-riley filters.. you also have an 11 band parametric eq per channel of amplification. time-alignment(signal delay)... these amps only have zapco's symbilink input.. so you can get an adapter from zapco that is speaker level input to symbilink output...plug the symbilink cable into your amp and presto!

Let me post some links for you....

http://www.zapco.com

click on products..

then click on dc reference... for the amps..

then click on symbilink..then click on cables...

i just noticed the cable you would need isn't on there but they do make it...i can get you a part number later today...

Dam...

Those are nice! I guess the only thing I need to look at is if it will work with the Can bus in my 300C? I heard they are very tricky, thats y we need the clean sweeps and things.

Have you ever used these in a can bus car? So you are telling me I could use any of the DC Ref amps with no other pieces? Dam that sounds slick to me. I bet the simblink and all the cabling is expensive

 

[Innovative:Cory 10+ year member]

The can-bus system is basically saying...everything is tied together and uses computer commands to control everything....if you have full range output from your factory amps then you would need nothing else..because you would be catching the signal output after your factory amplifier... if your factory amp has channels that are crossed over or bandpassed...then you would not want to use those as your input because it will not be a full range signal...i.e bad!... If that is the case I would use an Audiocontrol LC-6 or LC-8 or any other product that will take mulitple inputs and give you a fullrange "summed" output..or an output that will play 20-20khz. Follow me?

As for pricing...they are a little on the pricey side..but are very well built and have a reputation both on and off the competition circuits... its top-shelf stuff!! But it fits in with the products you are choosing very well.

i have a 360.2 and its awesome.. its durable for me. as long as you set it up correctly there is no noise.. and as long as you exit teh software correctly it wont messup the bluetooth chip.. now if you have a device connected in the middle of customizing or somehting and you just turn it off or exit to something else it will mess it up.. just like anything electronic if you dont treat it correctly it will break..i also the 360.2 can also take in multiple inputs and auto sum them to full range outputs that you can crossover or use the EQ to you likiing on..
