I surrender, setting gains. DD-1

[Orfeous]

I might ask some electronic gurus on forums and see if its possible to make a non distorted lineout converter.. it cant be too hard i think.
You only need the right components.

Guys, the reason we never finished the HLC is because of cost. By the time we got it all done, we would have to sell it for almost $200 just to break even. The fact an HLC is usually geared towards someone who is already taking a short cut (tapping into a factory speaker for a signal) leads me to believe that nobody is going to pay a premium for this unit. It is one of the cleanest HLC's ever made for SURE though.

It might be released someday still though! Once we figure out how to get costs more reasonable. Remember, manufacturing something by the 100's is 100x more expensive than manufacturing things by the 10,000's. That hurts us too.

oh and to the O.P. - what you found is EXACTLY what we have been saying all along. HLC's SUCK ASS and are almost all dirty.

[Orfeous]

I think there are a lot of dirty ones out there i think
But what can i do? Either use the stock stuff or live with a dirty signal

[dolarbilz]

But there still is a lot of guys like me,who dont want to remove factory hu.just to keep it factory looking/steatlh.plus I like my factory steering controls with out buying a deck then all the other stuff to keep it.

I really need get a hold of a DD-1 to test my Audio control DQ-61. See where its at.

Yeah, a DSP might be a solution for me... but there are alot of brands.. just choose the right one hehe.

If you're willing OP, you could try turning one of the pockets on the dash (if you have one) into a slot for an aftermarket HU. You wouldn't have all the steering wheel controls and everything else for that, but it's an option.

[Orfeous]

That is possible but.. not in my dash i have no "slots"
Wish i had another car with a better headunit.

I will carry on searching for a solution. Otherwise i surrender and live with dirty signal
it have been working since 2008.

I have a feeling you could sell 10,000 non-distorting HLCs in a heartbeat. That should bring the cost down to $2 each!!
