Thanks Eric for the quick response. Very well appreciated particularly knowing that you have to catch up with many posts here
May be a dumb question but why adding an amp to the DSP output (using a good 4 channel amp with speaker level inputs) and changing the stock speakers not a valid option? So far I am very happy with my stock DSP plus Sub amp/subwoofer added to it but you know how it is, you always want to do better if you can. |

I'm changing it all. The JL amps that I have installed in the X do not have speaker level inputs. I'm planning on going the route to disconnect the DSP amp altogether. I am going to use the stock wiring and replacing the stock speakers in the front. I'm not going to use the rear door speakers. I've been testing different settings and can honestly say that I do not notice a difference when I have fader full forwardvor balanced between front and rear.

Most amps' speaker level inputs are very poor in sound quality for mids and highs and noise floor. They are low-cost circuits intended mainly for sub use.
The JL amps can probably take speaker level in, but why? The output from the OEM HU sounds so good compared to speaker level. I don't mean to be sarcastic, but Alpac, have you read the posts on analyzing the DSP system and how to integrate to it? ekaz, I'm out of the office today, be in tomorrow, FYI.

Ken, no problem thanks a lot for the clarification. I have read many of your posts on this board and have learnt a lot from them. I do not know many professionals who take the time to provide that much information in forums like you do. Anyway, the reason to keep the DSP amp would be to keep the DSP (Digital Sound Processing) capability which I actually find pretty cool. Let me explain where I was coming from with my question which may sounds stupid for a car audio expert. Knowing that the rear speakers really suck I was thinking about why not adding an amp after the DSP just to improve the rear sound and replace the rear speakers by the same token.
