Active capable HU instead of a processor ????


Recommended Posts

I have been checking out some nice HU's and some of them seem to have a lot of the features that a DSP would have . So why not save 500-$1000 and get a head unit that has crossover adj, time alignment, band pass, etc ?

I'd say it depends on your goal. If you want the best sound I agree with audiofanatics. If you want decent sound and you want to save a couple bucks pick up an 80prs. I've never ran a processor before and I've been pretty happy with the quality of sound so the 80prs should be sufficient for what im looking for.

My whole system is running off of a MiniDSP 2x4. $1000? o__O

The features the MiniDSP has even with the basic plugins far surpass that of FLAGSHIP head units. You're comparing checkers to chess.

Don't trust a shop but you personally just smoked two decks, makes sense.

With only 4 outputs though, the sub wouldn't be able to go through it as well. However for under $300 they have one that will work. I'm gonna look into those, seem like a good price depending on application and what software plugin you need to buy.

You can run multiple Mini's at one time.

Yup, I was assuming either that or the 8 output version. Either way should be less than $300.
