I got a P6 Ultimate wich is a 12 Channel DSP. It has 6 speaker outs, 4 RCA outs and 1 optical output.
We have 10 outs + that optical that poses a problem. There are two amplifiers, the MatchUp 1FX and the P One Mk2 that have optical in.

Question:
Anyone know about a 2 or 4 channel amplifier that has optical inputs?
I sent an email to helix a moment ago too.

Why 12 channels?
My car has 3 rows, 7 seats.
6 front speakers, 1 pair of coaxials in the rear doors, and at the very end 2 fullrange speakers because why not.

Two subs, one in the front, one in the rear, an upcoming stealth build.

Helix C4's have the option to add optical input. P2 has them. Could certainly run another DSP/amplifier.

 

^^I did this with two C4's and worked great!!!

 

I was think about that kind of setup one day at work, but usually most amps with optical input are dsp amps. There are people there that use two dsp amps, but second one is just an amp really. Have no idea how they set it up

• VXi600/2
• Thesis Quattro

 

Thesis is insanely expensive, id prefer the idea of a second P Six actually...But lets see maybe they will come out with a P Four this year.

 

Run both subs with one sub amp and you are fine.

 

Hey kiklop, you are right. I could do that since time alignement isnt thaaat important for those 20-50hz wavelengths in an area of10ft/3.5 meters. The catchis that EQ must be done totally differently, for the moment i will be running a dayton 390HF, later i will upgrade to a front sub and perhaps another rear sub if the need arises for the rear to be upgraded too.

 

Or you can split optical into two P ones

Musway M4+

 

BROOOOO thanks to the infinite! thank you!

 

Helix M4 dsp, might be better than the Musway since you'll be already familiar with the dsp software.

 

M4, even better....gosh...How stupid of me not to realize that i can daisy chain the P6 DSP using them as amps. Irony, like a member said to me yesterday for another topic: Dont miss the forest for the trees. @daloudin

Thanks to you all. An eye opening moment. I have endless possibilities if i chose to go with a second DSP in that case. I can use that DSP to power whatever i want to, making a high number multi channel out of it. Lolololol. sounds crazy but for a seven seater, come on, why not. xD Coaxials for the rear door so an SQ oriented driver and front passenger wont be disturbed by the rear tweeter being at almost ear level, and a decent rear third row component 2 way for poor guys at the very end of the car. "should be easy to install they said"

The M4 DSP sounds like a good idea, the musway is cheap.

 

JL Audio VXI amplifiers... I have two of the VX400/4i available if your interested.

 

Thank you SQ porsche but i think those amps would be overkill for me since i plan to use just an extension amp for the rear fill on the 2 other row seats of my minivan. But i got family in the US, what prices are we talking? PM me.

 

I'm not sure what the point of this is, unless the DAC in the amp is as good or better than the dac in your dsp there is absolutely 0 reason to do this. Now if you are running the Brax that have the same DAC go ahead otherwise use the good DAC in your processor.

 

The point is that i bought a 12 channel DSP and it pisses me off that i cant use all 12. 6 speaker outs, 4 RCA, till here we good. There are 2 DSP channels remaining and one Optical out. How u do? you add an amp who has Optical In, right? thats the point. and for doing this either you add a super expensive C Four with an add on, or you just buy another DSP and use it as an amp only for those extra 2 channels. but since its another DSP you can use it for way more. Its overkill and pointless, but it could be done. Im not the only one that would have daisy chained two DSP Amps though...all i want is 10 speakers dash/doors/pillar and 2 front/rear subs.

 

hahh your signature, the ss10 is the sub i wanted too for the front!

 

It's a good one no doubt.
