That's what I'm shooting for. I'm installing db651s's this evening, will dynamat later. How does the Rockford processor work?
It can do a TON. Quite daunting at first, and you need a laptop to do the setup and tuning. But incredible results after a couple of weeks of learning what it does and how to do it...it can be addicting and maddening, if you get one, you will be spending an hour (or two) several times a week tuning and listening.
OEM Integration - you can input the oem speaker wires to the unit, and get clean, balanced, RCA outs to your amps easily. The unit only needs TWO channels of input (such as left and right front), and can create all of the others needed from those, up to 8 channels total. The factory head unit works quite well with this unit.
Time Alignment - you can delay each channel, so that you can make all of the sound waves arrive to a point in your car, so that you can create a virtual "stage", where vocals are centered on the dash, and stereo sounds pan from left to right as needed by the musical instruments. You can "steer" the phantom center image to where you want it.
31 band
parametric EQ - frequency band adjustment so you can level match left to right, so that all sounds from low to high are centered properly. You can also adjust each band's width, or "
Q"
Phase Inversion - used to help get your mids and sub "in phase" with each other, so that midbass is more pronounced/defined, and the subwoofer to integrate into the sound stage so it does not sound like it's behiond you. Google "upfront bass".
Multi-crossover alignments - 4different crossover types, as well as the "slope" or steepness from the set crossover point.
If you can, find a local car audio place that knows of a well set up "SQ" car. Listen to it. Be amazed hahaha. I would definitely do the dynamat FIRST, before you go into more parts. Install quality is HUGE, especially for your front door speakers, and all the gadgets will just frustrate you if you do not have a solid base to work off of.
