but i don't know anything about feedback response.

Yeah, that push for headless car audio is a step in the wrong direction in my book. I don't want to control my sound system via a smart phone app. I require everything mounted up front in my dash. Besides, I'm still old school and I can't slide a CD into my Android phone. And all those new Android OS decks out now that could run the DSP software and that can ALSO play CD's or DVD's are low quality compared to what I am experienced with in Pioneer Premier, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, etc. There doesn't seem to be any head unit available that has the combination of features that I would want for my system, which is why I stacked two single-din head units in a double din configuration. I get the modern conveniences with the Alpine deck with the old-school reliability and high voltage RCA outputs of the Pioneer Premier deck. And I can always add an Android device mounted to my sun visor via Bluetooth like I did in my work vehicle as you can see here:
Anything that I play music-wise using the Android device gets sent to the Alpine head unit, processed a bit with the parametric equalizer in that, then sent to the Pioneer head unit through its AUX input and then further processed with the DSP and then output through the high, mid and low signals. This setup is pretty much all I need for the time being.
Never put all your eggs in one basket is what I say.
And to further explain what I mean by comparative signal input-output monitoring and active feedback response adjustment, it would take a whole write-up dedicated specifically to that. If you want me to, and if I can find the time next week, I will do that.
