meh if you need heavy processing you have a problem.

so according to him. you all need to get rid of your external crossovers, EQ's, and whatever processing you have because you all have problems. get real.

Personally I think time correction is a bit much too, unless you drive around alone all the time. It creates the best possible sound stage for one seat in the car. Properly aligned speakers and a centered soundstage ftw

Not when the mids are down by your foot in the factory location.

then your time delay isnt perfect. sitting in the rear, its perfect, and sitting in the front its perfect.

the dsp from zapco isnt strictly for the DC amps.

what else can it be used for?

definately for not every single amp out there in the market. for as often as foxpro5 changes his undies, the dc processors are still limited regardless.

well, it can really be used with anything if you want to. it is designed for zapcos with the symbilink out, but there is no reason you cant convert that symbalink out to rca.

yes maybe true but the RUX701 looks better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

the dsp is darn sexy. look at the DC amps.

eh, i've never been a fan of the way zapco makes their heat sinks. they are very plain and to me for boring to look at.

don't get me wrong, i'm not the one who would buy stuff based on their looks. but i'm just stating what i think. i have no problem running zapco amps if i can afford it.

the dc's heat sinks arent really that noticeable. an all black amp with a blac chromish zapco logo, sexyness. but thats my taste i guess.

yes it can sound different but the RC challenge as referenced is based on say a linear power amp from the 90's with no processing vs. a ppi art with the same thing. you wouldn't hear difference on something that. however you can i suppose hear difference on different sound amplifiers with different input sages and shiat liket hat. i still don't always hear it lol. then again, i'm almost deaf in my right ear.

I wasn't aware Mr. Clark had made that distinction, or would draw such a narrow line.

Not all amps that are at the same power level sound the same //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

then your time delay isnt perfect. sitting in the rear, its perfect, and sitting in the front its perfect.

What about whoever's sitting in the front passenger side?

its only setup front to rear to get the timing perfect from the front to the rear speakers, and both of those to the woofers.

I don't understand what you said, or how it contradicts the original statement:
