It does open new menus in the ida-X100.What exactly can you tune manually with the PXA-H100? Does it open up new menues in the HU? I have the CDA-9886, which uses the PXA (vs the 9887 which uses the other one) but was holding off buying the PXA-H100 untill the KTX-H100 was available. I assume you don't need the tunning kit to utilize the imprint processor?
#1 it removes the "loudness" option from the basic imprint menu.
#2 Advanced Imprint manager (found when holding the Setup button and selecting Audio)
- adds Mexia Expander
- adds time correction (with several preset options)
- adds 3-way crossover (front/rear/sub)
- adds option for graphic or parametric EQ
- adds time correction option for cm (centimeters) or ms (milliseconds)
and a few other options that I can't recall off the top.
I installed mine last night and am already very impressed with the difference the control has made. I have a set of Boston Pro 6.5s installed up front, a Kicker solo L5 8" in .34 cu.ft. sealed box and a Soundstream Picasso 4x60 amp. This is installed into a 2006 Xterra.
#1 major difference is, of course, the time correction, which finally brought the image towards the center of the soundstage. I played a bit with the crossover, nothing yet with equalization.
I'm still waiting for the KTX-H100 to arrive. My shop accidently gave me last years model (KTX-100EQ) and I was wondering why the hell the connections wouldn't fit into the H100, until the realization.
