Multiple subwoofer locations? Up front bass FTW?

Nope. No T/A yet. Thinking about switching to a 9887 or running a mini dsp

Honestly brother ... You have no idea what you are missing ... my suggestion would be to upgrade your headunit before processing ...

Good HUs with proper time alignment are getting very affordable too.

After messing with the one in my van on the last HU I got, and using the "auto eq and ta" on the 5.1 in my wife's Trailblazer to get things close (did further tweaking from there), it is really amazing what can be done with proper processing.

Yeah, I was hoping I could get away with just having a couple 30 band eq's but I think I will need T/A. Makes me feel like a picky little bitch sometimes; lol, I should just be satisfied with what I have. Trying to get the best SQ out of your system can be just as bad as chasing them deebeez.' And like spl the changes you have to make to improve it just a little bit cost a fortune. That's the game though right...

I know what you mean brother ...

The way I have mine time aligned ... I have WAY more "up front" and "up on the dash" bass than ever before ...

One day I'd like to get back on a term lab (legal on the dash) and just see if it would be a SPL reading difference ...

it is really amazing what can be done with proper processing.

Hey ... lets not get too carried away here ...

just kidding brother ... hope to get to see you again soon !!!

Couple things I learned about HU's and time allignment.

If you're running a 4 way. High, mid, midbass and sub I'd run the pioneer dex99

For a 3 way system high mid and sub the prs80 is fantastic

I really like pioneer so I have stuck with them and their auto EQ does a pretty fantastic job. Wish I had purchased the dex99 tho and a different amp then everything would be perfect
