What are my options, lost..

My second JBL MS-8 broke, stuck in protect mode. I really wanted to keep my factory setup but I'm not seeing that happen. I have a mono amp and 4-channel. The sound quality without my ms-8 is not pleasant.

Besides getting a new head unit, is there any other option for sound quality improvement?

I have image dynamic components and a TC epic 10.

MS8 is discontinued. If you can get it fixed, that is option 1. Option 2 is to get a Helix, Audison, and use a Line out converter. Or get a Pioneer 80prs.

Most of not all full DSPs have high level inputs. A few will correct the factory signal pre tune but only at the tuning volume.

You don't hear much about MS-8s breaking so you might want to figure out what happened first.

Yeah - I have never heard of an issue with the MS8 taking a crap. Should figure out whats going on.
