Let me see if I can get you off of there.

It seems to make sense that the processing that the DSP provides falls into three categories:

1) Tuning of the system to match the acoustics of the interior. OK there.

2) Tuning of the system to match the performance characteristics of the drivers. Oh, you're changing the drivers to better-performing ones? This processing is now inappropriate.

3) Wack special effects stuff ("room", "echo") that no one should use unless you are listening to classical music and want to mimic being in your high schools' gymnasium.

The 360 would reverse #1 and #2 for the settings that it is programmed for. No one benefits from #3, and the 360 would probably eff that all up.

So why would you use this again?

If you like the idea of vehicle-specific processing, use Zapco DC series amps and get DSPwith 10-band parametric EQ, time correction per channel, and digital active filters. A DC 360 or 1000 and a DC500 should do incredibly well.
