Sound Processors

[dirtyunclerandy 10+ year member]

Just got a new car and I am trying to figure out the best way to add components, amps and subs. Is a sound processor the best way to go? What are the best ones to use? Here's the new ride.

very nice, i would look into the h800 i believe its out now and it has a controller you can buy and remotely mount for on the go tweaking. i like the rf 360 too but the new ones are ridiculously expensive

Thanks. I couldn't believe it was a Kia when I first saw it.

Kia has been making some sick stuff lately. I saw modded hatchback Kia locally that looked sick, think it was a Rio! Hyundai surprised me too when they first dropped the Genesis..then the Sonata....

That is a nice car, I wish I had a car sometimes instead of a truck, I would love to save some gas money. I have had the RF360.2 for about 3 years now, and it's very finicky. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that is a novice. I actually don't think they sale it anymore. They do have the 8 channel 360.3 coming out(or it could already be out) and it could be something to look into. I am with Prince though, the MS8 is pretty badas-s. Has a lot of features, and even if your lazy, it will tune itself, and it's actually meant to connect to factory stereos. I think Audiocontrol may have something you could be interested in. But with everything considered, I have always suggested to customers and people I have installed for, to just get an aftermarket receiver with the features you would want. There may be some fabrication with newer model vehicles, but if it's not a leased vehicle, I would go ahead and do it.

****, JBL is proud of the MS8. Didn't think it was 600 bucks

Yeah man I know. That's the only reason I stuck with the 360 with all it's problems. I already forked out all the money for it, and it has it's good moments. I really wished I had went with the MS8. It's about the same price brand new, and nowhere near the problems. Audiocontrol has a lot of OEM integration products that could fit your needs too. It just doesn't show prices(or I just couldn't find them,oops)

If you care about staging definitely go with a ms-8. The way that thing stages by jus putting on those mics that look like headphones is incredible. Especially if you can put a center channel it'll stage from both seats perfectly. The stage is very focused it took me awhile to get used to the voice of the singer coming only from a small spot on the center of the dash. Also try looking on sonic they're surprisingly an authorized dealer. Oh and if you listen to alot of rap,rnb,pop, dubstep etc (music where staging is pretty much worthless) it's waste of money IMO
