So, just how hard IS it to tune with a h701 processor?

I've decided to go with an h701 first instead of a bandpassable 4-channel amp. I'll go ahead and go active and just wait however long it takes to accrue enough $$$ to get a better 4-channel amp.

It will be at least a month until I get the processor ($ in savings account needs to get back to pre-christmas), but I'm doing some research and mapping out now while I'm waiting. I see alot of posts almost discouraging people from buying a processor because they're so terribly confusing. Are they that bad? I had an Alpine 9855 deck last year and understand slopes, & x-over points. The graphic & parametric EQ may take some time, though. One question about time correction I have though, is does this processor allow you to connect a mic to it and let it adjust automatically? I know that you can do so with the c701 controller. I like playing around with the settings on my d300, so I think this would be a good addition to my existing setup.

I love my H701. I was using a 9255 and I like the Alpine set up much better.....

The Rux controller is super easy to use. Once you get used to the navigation buttons you will use it as well as you use your TV remote. I have a 9861, and it is easy as well to tune through the head also.

I am not a fan of the mic, I think I confused it because I was using the "rears" for midbass in a 3 way front stage. Regardless the 5 images were out of phase.
