Signal Processors (Feedback on experience)

[Slammer 10+ year member]

I have just gotten rid of my truck and now have a 2003 Honda Accord. It is the EX model with the built in 6 disc changer (in the factory head unit, not in the trunk). It also has the dual zone climate control, meaning that the heat and air functions appear on the digital display of the radio. Nobody makes an install kit for this, and I am cool with keeping the factory HU. Looking at installing a signal processor, so that I can run a 4ch amp for the doors and a mono amp for sub stage in the trunk.

Let me know if you have experience with these, as I have never used one. I am looking at the JL Clean Sweep, but doesn't look like it has a sub out, unless you buy another component to go with it. Also looking at the Memphis 6ix, but it is simply a line driver that gives the RCA outs, but has no digital processing capabilities. Lastly, the RF 3sixty looks like it is the best of both worlds, but the manual states that you have to has an OS handheld device??? to program in properly.

Ready to get started on this build, but want to get the right processor.

Any help is appreciated.

I believe the RF 3Sixty.1 can be used without a wireless device to set your eq settings so that it uses factory presets, you can also use a Windows or Palm OS device to give it custom settings. The 3Sixty.2 only works with the wireless device, thats what I got when I read the product descriptions. I was looking to into getting one of them to replace my RF EPX2 but found they couldn't do what I needed so I had to skip it. For your application I think they'd do the job.

Thanks for the input. Anybody else with any experience with processors for factory HUs?

As long as your computer has bluetooth, you can program the 3sixty.2. You just have to download a program from RF. I have one sitting in my closet, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get it installed in the next couple of weeks.

i just got rid of an Audiocontrol LC6i with Kicker KQ9 for processing. If i had to do it again, i'd go with either Audiocontrol DQL-8 or and LC6i into a DQX
