[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8783376, member: 654802"] Yes. Yes. It will take nothing away from the quality sound that those brands are known for. The use of multiple channels allows you to lower the volume of the tweeters since you have them at ear level. Just attenuating the "treble" is not enough because the tweeter plays a wide upper range that the "treble" curve cannot encompass. So it is better to tailor the tweeter's optimum response, then lower the volume (gain) as a whole. This will save your ears and you from becoming a treble rebel. I know you've heard them, we all have. Same can be done with the midrange if you have a bit of trouble hearing certain notes. With the DSP you tailor it all. Belly chuckle! Personal glimpses like this allows one to gauge a man's character. Way to go dad! Had to Youtube that song. It is really good. It accidentally got saved to a playlist and cannot be removed lest my phone explode or something. Safety first, I always say. You are spot on with their abilities. Only reason I seconded the JL, is because I thought the shop might be "pushing" a more expensive unit, telling you, "This is the only way". Also, if the only issue with the new setup was sibilance, this is a more economical solution. From what I skimmed on the Virtuoso spec sheet, it has more tuning options than the JL, so be sure the shop has an experienced user of this unit. The JL gives six clean signals with EQ. I would just let them be. You may inadvertently disable warning chimes if you shut them down. But your installer will have better knowledge from experience on newer vehicles. Ask if they will "color" the sound of the new setup. Adding a 3rd 4ch. would be best. For the simple reason of having complete individual control of everyone of those 13 speakers. Upgrading the rest of the speakers may be redundant. Disconnecting may be a better option, but ask your installer about warning chimes before making a decision. Is it possible to add another DSP? Oh yeah. There is one limit, space. No apology needed. This thread has got me thinking of the complexity new car audiophiles face when wanting to upgrade. Made difficult by manufacturers using the headunit an integral part of vehicle support systems. Pretty sneaky, but cost saving since computing tasks can be handled by one unit instead of several.
