Has anyone used one of these things yet, the way they were meant too, on small speakers. You know, make a 6.5 sound like a 10! Or even make a ten sound like a 15....just wondering -------------

I'm thinking it would be similar in process to the ELF circuitry used by Bag End..... using spectral compression in addition to EQ to "fool" the woofer a bit without destroying the motor structure. Also used by BOSE.
I remember reading something about this a while ago, but the physics didn't seem to add up to me. On a somewhat related note, one time awhile back, someone had used SMAARTLive to measure exactly what BOSE 802 processor actually did. The amount of EQ that was being applied was astonishing, with some points boosted as much as 30dB. This was done so he could duplicate the BOSE processor with a DriveRack unit, and in essence, use one amprack in more applications. There were more EQ points in the BOSE processor than the DriveRack could do, which is quite astonishing since the BOSE unit is a fixed point, completelyanalog unit. The DBX unit is a highly advanced, multipoint DSP based loudspeaker processor that is highly flexible. Very odd indeed! Oh well, I'm hung over and rambling, and besides, this is more live audio than mobile related.
