MS-8 vs Bit Ten?

[Eggroll]

Just as the title says. I'll be looking for a processor soon, just wanted to see what you guys recommend from those^ two, or anything else you guys have might have in mind. My car is "new" and has warranty so I don't want to mess with it's headunit atm (although I would if outcome is better).

I'm thinking I should have went with the bit ten. If you know how to tune, have hours to work on it get the bit. If not like me get the ms-8

So ms-8 is "more simple"?

A lot more, it does the auto tuning for u, so if u don't have hours tuning and setting things up, go with the ms8, u don't have as much control but it's so simple and only takes a few minutes

Not simple by any means. Less you can do. After you calibrate it you only have a single 31 band EQ and basic fader balance to adjust. If it does not turn out right you are limited on how far you can dial it in. I'm still learning its quirks. Level matching is very important.

Keep in mind I'm ocd and I want everything I play to sound like a reference track.

Ahh I know it won't be simple. Not trying to make things easy, what if I could change my headunit for a prs? Is is possible to keep steering wheel controls and all that?

You have to get a part to keep controls. I will say I had better results with the 80prs but I'm still tuning the ms-8. The 80 took a few weeks to get right also.

Nissan does not use it's head units for any sort of vehicle information that would interfere with it's operation. i get that it's a pretty new vehicle but changing out the radio can't void a warranty, literally can't. now if it was GM, BMW, Audi, etc... I'd understand.

I know, and even if there was a problem, changing it isn't hard

The vehicle specific harness will do what you need it to do.

No more to tell. You buy the deck and the harness for your car.
