@soundman98 how long have you been running the dayton dsp? Seems a few people have had it go out on them after some use.

Going along with the idea of spending a few bux extra for the DSP, if the signal processing function of a headunit works just as well, why bother with the extra redundant adjustments with an external unit? Is he sound quality superior with these DSP's vs your average or higher end head units?

edit: I wanted to also mention.. It appears the door speaker and the tweeter are NOT powered together with the factory wiring. Not sure where I read that it was. The dash and tweets is one circuit and the door is a separate channel.. Short story, I wired the 3" dayton speaker using the factory connections and factory head unit. Noticeable improvement, though I skipped using the factory capacitor and went with a bass blocker. Sound great all the way up to max volume, but I think the tweeter was starting to ring a bit at maximum volume. Would recommend this upgrade by its self. Low buck way to improve sound easily.
