[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8648492, member: 665412"] I'd get a Helix DSP if it's within your price range, or even a rockford fosgate DSR1 would be better than using the 80prs as great a headunit as it is. 8 channels and more customization with a full blown DSP. Absolutely run active. The mic and RTA can be done with the DSP if it has that feature or you'll need to buy an RTA mic and get software for a laptop. Time alignment is really done by ear (but i honestly **** at it myself, so just do it by distance at first) and the EQ is based off the RTA response. There's a lot of reading and time you're going to need to invest if you intend on tuning the car fully. You have to fix the EQ of each speaker, then do pairs of l/r, and then some other stuff i cant even remember lol Just minor EQ adjustments and time alignment alone will impress you if you deaden the car properly and make sure the front stage is taken care of as far as placement and driver choice [/QUOTE]
