digital crossover choice and future plan

oh yeah, the ones i am looking at are the Zapco SX-SL and the Audiocontrol DXS

wow, on the mark $499.  and everything.  still would like to hear some other suggestions as their isnt really any posts on this subject and i dont think im the only person to ever look for one.

right now i have a 13 band which is fine for my setup, but i am getting a 2002 bmw for almost nothing this spring and am saving 4 grand from what i had saved. i am planning on redoing my entire system expcept for the deck and possible components. the rest ill sell so ill have 5000 plus whatever i save up until then to make a really nice sq setup. ill get a good spectrum analyzer and oscillope so the 30 band will get put to good use. i was just thinking in advance and i need a 3 way crossover right now. be warned, i will be posting a lot of q's in the summer

Actually I was going to suggest a different piece, not that the Audio Control is not a nice piece - The AltoMobile UCSPro Here is the link directly to the page for it... Major differences include: 8 presets vs. 64 presets 2 parametric bands vs. 31 parametric bands 1 crossover slope vs. 5 crossover slopes fixed crossover characteristic vs. 3 selectable crossover characteristics no time delay vs. time delay no noise gate vs. fully adjustable noise gate no compression/limiting vs. adjustable compression/limiting The compressor/limiter will protect your speakers from dynamic damage, and is QUITE a useful feature/tool. Also, if you so desire, you can download the UCSPro software to install and try out before you commit to the purchase. There is also an in-dash controller module for it. Yes, it is optional, but so is the in-dash controller for the Audio Control. This will download the manual (with specs) for the AudioControl, so please feel free to look them over, but I am sure that you will see the Alto is a better box for the money. BTW, my system is below, all installed by me, so you can see that I might just know a little bit about good gear (pat on my own back...

You should write it down."

Haemphyst, how much does that unit run? New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

I think it's current retail is around 600 or so, a bit more than the AC unit, but it DOES do a BUNCH more than the AC. I can't say for certain the ACTUAL price, because I bought mine through channels I am not able to divulge (and, no, they're not stolen ), but the forum on the Alto site should be able to get you a location in your area for purchasing.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice.
