My current setup goal in my 2020 Lexus ES350
-T1500-bdCP pushing two CompQ 12"s
-RD400/4 pushing four 3.5"s
-P300z2 pushing two 6"x9"s
My current setup is just the mono into the subwoofers.
I have noticed that my subwoofers fall off significantly after 55-60hz. I have deduced this to the Mark Levinson only sending <60hz to the rear stock sub which my LC2i is tapped into, while the 80hz+ goes to my front door 6x9s (only low-end). This bothers me as I listen to EDM and sometimes the basslines do go a bit higher, and it doesn't blend in at all.
I need signal summing.
Two options are an LC8i. This will allow me input all the signals with summing options so I can send mid/full range (80+) to my 6x9s send the full low-end (<80hz) to my subwoofers. This is more affordable ~$170.
My other option is to get a DSP. I'm looking at the Helix DSP.2 among a few others. This will allow me to achieve what I need to get a broader low-end range by choosing which signals to combine for each output. This is more costly. ~$400-$500 depending on eBay luck.
My question is, my goal can be achieved with the LC8i alone, right? The added benefits of the DSP are staging, timing, more control over signals/ranges, uersface? Are there other benefits of the DSP that I'm not considering as an incentive? I've done research here and there, and what I listed seems to be the big selling points - for an additional several hundred dollars.
