quick question about jl's clean sweep

[ballistik101 10+ year member]

jus got another car (04 honda accord coupe) and im already thinking about upgrading my system by changing all four speakers and adding a sub, BUT i want to keep the factory headunit. did my research on a few processors and took a liking to the jl clean sweep.

my question is..... since there are only 2 sets of outputs on the clean sweep, does that mean if i want to add a 4ch amp and a mono amp i would have to use slitters for the front outouts on the clean sweep and run them to the 4ch amp and the rear outputs of the clean sweep to the mono amp?

basically would i treat it as if i had an aftermarket headunit w/ only a front and rear rca outputs?

thanx

I think that is kind of a half-assed way to go about OEM integration. Plus, running splitters, etc. will probably defeat the eq stuff from the cleansweep. I would go with a different processor or go with an aftermarket HU.

If it helps, I picked the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2. Previous owner said it worked great, and I'm really excited to use it.

RF only offers software for Windows PCs, Windows Mobile, or Palm OS based phones. If you can borrow one of those to tune it, it should be just fine.

The only other thing I can think of is to buy a program that will allow you to run windows on your mac. I can't remember the name of the one I see most often, but they are out there. Only drawbacks would be the cost of the program plus the cost of Windows if you can't borrow a copy from someone. Plus it would probably be really slow, having to run through the software and on an old computer.

If you plan on upgrading to a new macbook in the near future, you can just run windows on Bootcamp. Easy and much faster than any of the "adapter" software out there
