I have mine. I'm not switching to it until after world finals. I'll do a write up then.

 

Look'n forward too it...

 

If you're looking for personal experience from average users it's best to preempt Google search keys with "forum". Eg. "forum Rockford 3sixty.3 review"

Notice that if you Google "Rockford 3sixty.3 review" you get different results than if you Google "forum Rockford 3sixty.3 review".

EDIT: Something weird about the 3sixty.3 is that the original (never mass manufactured) model had auto-tune and the future prospect of being iPhone/Android compatible. Neither of those things ended up in the final model.

 

Thanks for the tip....

 

Mine is coming soon...install won't be until may or so though.
Basically I'm no help...and kinda curious myself.

 

Have one sitting next to the night stand. Should be installed in the near future but not sure exactly when yet.

 

What do you want to know?

 

What I'm look'n for is some real world reviews...
How is it navigate through, Has anyone encountered any problems,
Hows the EQ / TA work out...
An over all review from real people in the real world if you will...

 

in another couple weeks i'll be able to give you a review if you want. i just need to borrow a laptop from a friend for an extended period of time!

 

You could use one of mine if u were in the Dallas area...

 

I posted a link in the "deals" forum but I might as well post it here too:

Beach Audio is having a sale on the 3Sixty.3 for $401.57. Here's the link. Just add to cart to see the new price (free shipping too).

Don't worry about the odd description. There's a thread on here from a month ago of a couple posters buying this exact listing and getting the real thing (for slightly higher price).

 

Wow that's really tempting. Pity I don't own a Toshiba 10.1 tablet

 

^

Still seems kind of sketchy with that description on the page.

Great price, but I couldn't find anywhere that stated if they are an RF Authorized Dealer?

 

Great price, but I couldn't find anywhere that stated if they are an RF Authorized Dealer?

According to Rockford's site they are not.

 

Too bad they wont ship it to Canada..

 

Damn, not a bad price at all....

 

I emailed woofersetc last night asking about shipping, when I put chit in cart online says free shipping (with my address plugged in and everything) but I just dont buy it...havent heard back yet.

Ive been scouring ebay for deals, and then deals that ship to Canada, and then deals that ship to Canada that use USPS :laugh::laugh:


There's nothing in Victoria eh? I used to live there (and judging by your avatar you went to Tool a few years back! Awesome show!) and was just down on the weekend.

 

Heh, ya I was at that Tool show - and it was awesome.

I've purchased things from woofersetc.com and gotten USPS delivery. I think I found out about getting USPS when I e-mailed about it and they said to make the order by phone. But, as I mentioned earlier, I don't know if they match prices. If they won't match a sale price like the one from Beach Audio you can try to get them to match the regular price from audiotoys.com (I think it's around $460 there. Just don't actually buy anything from audiotoys.com If you look around the net apparently they aren't good sellers, and they don't even have a contact number or an address on their site. No address is an instant deal breaker for me.

 

I'll try to post my review soon as well. I'm about waist-deep into a new build, but I want to get plenty of quality seat time in with it so I can post a thorough review and be confident in my findings. But so far, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with it. So much so that I might not even bother buying the PS8 to compare as I had originally planned. Time will tell, though.

Dave, did you buy all 4 of yours Authorized? I might want a backup.

 

Beach Audio is legit. I'd purchase on CC through Amazon and save some loot.

 

You guys need to hurry up and get them installed...and compare to other processors.

 

What he said!

 

Seriously, it's only a processor. It really just has an eq, xover, t/a and that's it.

 

I thought it could do phase too. Or is RF calling polarity reversal phase adjustment?

 

It has a 180 phase switch in the gui for each channel.

 

Are you looking to buy one for sure? Im still debating, lol.

 

Ya, for sure. I almost made the purchase for that Beach Audio sale, but their site wouldn't allow me to complete the order. I guess with certain items they won't ship to Canada.

I was going to wait for the Arc Audio PS8, but for $400 I could buy the 3Sixty.3 AND and amp, and still have cash left over.

 

Yeah I tried too, no dice.
Still not sure which I want...

 

Yes sir I do. Going to be a bit before I can get one with the baby boy here. Need to know what to ask for Christmas. Lot of choices at similar price points and roughly similar features.

 

Congrats on the new addition to the family! I hear you, man. Just having my nieces and nephews around every so often is a money vacuum! I love them heaps, but can't imagine what having a few of my own would do to my finances!

Well considering you can get a 3Sixty.3 for less than half the price of the PS8 (not even factoring in the additional cost of the PSC & BTM), I'd say it's the best current option for the price-conscious consumer looking for a 2.1 DSP.

I'd still like to have the PS8, but will only consider it if the 3Sixty.3 doesn't do what I need it to do. I'm pretty sure it will work out perfect for my needs, as I'm still fairly content with my P9 combo and XDP-4000X setups. However, just the fact that the PS8 is about 1/4" thinner than the 3Sixty.3 would make it A LOT easier to implement in my particular install! Funny how just 1/4" here or there changes everything!

However, I'm not looking at it from a competition perspective. My freelance photography schedule is very random and on-the-fly, so it's almost impossible for me to keep a commitment to a competition schedule, though I'd love to be able to attend shows just for the enthusiast comraderie more than anything else.

Hopefully the PSC and BTM for the PS8 will be released well before Christmas. I'll be sure to post my thoughts on the 3Sixty.3 as soon as I can. Good luck.

 

hey guys, got everything wired and ready to go, program uploaded onto laptop, followed directions on hooking up usb, but the UI still does not recognize the unit! anybody else have this issue? this thing is brand new, i shouldn't be having any issues. i am able to still listen to some sound, getting the white led power light, so everything seems to function properly. i just can't access the UI; still goes into demo mode. please help, im about to tear my hair out!

 

If you have another USB Cable handy, try it. I've heard of at least two instances where the USB cable was defective. It's not too expensive to buy another one. Also, a lot of computer printers and external desktop Hard Drives use this exact cable, so check to see if you already have one that might work, and try it with the 3Sixty.3, and then, try the RF 3Sixty.3 USB cable to see if it works with your printer or hard drive, etc..

Also, did you already try the RESET button and do you have the remote connected?

I hope that's all it is. Good luck.

 

^I think I've read that you cannot plug the 3Sixty.3 into a USB3 port. I KNOW that I've read people wondering why their units are not being recognized. But, don't worry. Usually in the threads I've read with people complaining about that someone provides an answer.

 

Here is my answer. This is a piece of asian crap. I've had 2. They each lasted exactly 2 weeks before the red ring of death. The firmware updating doesn't work, it doesn't have the processing power to give you useful real time adjustments, and I seriously cannot count how many software crashes it has had where I have to completely uninstall it, then re-install from CD, but at least it has a turn off pop that resembles a .357 being fired - which also happens whenever you have to use the hard reset button (which is a lot)

Let me bottom line this "piece" If you need lots of practice installing, buy this cause you'll be putting them in and out 2X a month. If you want a quality processor that actually works and is reliable, I'd keep looking.

Don't get me wrong, if AudioControl or another quality co. made this here in the US and it WORKED and was reliable, it would be the best thing since subwoofers, but it don't.

Sorry 4 the hurtful truth.

 

You're an idiot. Seems you have a ****load of install issues that you are blaming the 363 on. Especially the turn on/off pop. Processing power? Gobs of it.

 

If I was running Blaupunkt and Crunch product at least I'd be smart enough not to have it in my sig. If I'm an idiot...what does that make u? LOL
