Kris4b11 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hey everyone, I have a 2014 Honda Accord with the "premium" system. I currently run a B2 Quattro for front mids and highs, B2 Mono for bass, and also a B2 MA1000.2 on pro audio drivers. I'm still using the factory touchscreen radio for my source and have a bypass/harness that grabs the signal before factory amp and converts high level into low level input that feed the amps directly. I am looking for a DSP that accepts RCA inputs but will also de-equalize and not fade out bass at higher volume. I really like how the new Zapco DSP Z8-IV-II looks and the program/app looks great to me. I was hoping someone could give me some feedback on this model and if it was capable of de-equalizing. I am also open to any other suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help.

Joshdashef Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I’ve never ran a dsp but the Rockford 3sixtys seem good just expensive. the audiocontrol dsps might be worth a look also. sorry I can’t say anything about the Zappos so just throwing ideas out SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also considering the audio control dm 608 as another option. At this point I'm wondering if it might just be easier to stick a single din like a 80prs somewhere and call it a day lol.

bcbrassard Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I SUGGEST you buy it, Run it, Review It!!! Tons of DSP's out there. Not to sound stupid but what does de-equalizing mean? I googled it and didn't find a meaning for it. Equalize, yes. De-equalize, No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De-equalize, No. Maybe it's not a "legit term" but I was referring to removing the factory EQing to get a "cleaner" signal. Also to remove the feature where the factory bass output signal drops as volume increases. Yes of course I could buy try it and hope and pray that it would do what i want. But I did not want to close my eyes and throw hundreds of dollars in the air that might end up out the window if you know what I mean lol.

reedal Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 For what you want, go audiocontrol.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Factory double din navi unit with 30gb internal Crescendo bc3500 DD 9512i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio control comes to mind as well. I used a LC7 from audio control on 2 builds with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say I love my 80 prs but I’m running active. I plan on going into a dsp eventually when I switch back to passive to add another set of speakers and judging from your experience I think I might go audiocontrol too 😂 SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
