RTA’d the car. Know my way around all of that whole thing now.

I used the default house curve. Blech. Too flat in the midrange. Need to come up with my own house curve - take the edge off in the 1k-5k range. That’ll be next step.

Starting to sound like a tuned car now!

Done! All the crossover filters are out!

That’s a lot of work right there! ^^

Notice any difference in sound?

Not yet but no testing time either as it was the third car project of the day, and wanted to wrap up.

BroDoze I'm intensely curious to see your curves! Did you notice the same gaping hole between between 80 hz and 160hz?

I see my blinkers on the dash and other warnings on the idrive display.

See, I am looking at it from the other side of the coin. Having to switch between two source methods depending on what kind of drive I am going on, perhaps not having my "best" sound on shorter drives, missing system sounds on longer drives, all of that has me thinking we could organize a group buy for the Resonix alternative that's like 300 bucks. We only need 3 people to buy in.

If we can't reasonably compensate for this newly discovered -10 dB dip around 100-120 Hz with some EQ (maybe bring it up to -5 or even -3 dB), I would be seriously tempted to buy one of these decoder boxes if we could organize a group buy. The challenge then would be, configuring the DSP PC tool!
