[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8648515, member: 650438"] You dont need both active head units and a dsp, you only need one or the other. you only need either an active capable head unit or a standard head unit with a DSP because the dsp can go active. No kenwoods are active capable on the market currently. Only JVC, pioneer and one or two models of alpines and one model of clarion. 80% of pioneer and JVC offerings are active capable around 90 and up price range just use crutchfield's details section and they should list it in the audio portion. DSP has no mic, you normally just get something like this on a budget that works pretty well [URL="https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-imm-6-calibrated-measurement-microphone-for-tablets-iphone-ipad-and-android--390-810"]https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-imm-6-calibrated-measurement-microphone-for-tablets-iphone-ipad-and-android--390-810[/URL] and use it with REW (room eq wizard) a free RTA software as you tune on your laptop. Tuning will be done by ear and RTA. There is no autotune because most of all autotune softwares are garbage exception of the JBL MS8 which is out of production atm. You can shell out money for an expensive dsp or you can try some of these other budget friendly offerings that do most of what the higher end ones do, the rockford one has bugs that you gotta live with tho.
