Also...would it make sense to keep the JL Fix 82 in the signal path and send signal to the Helix via toslink? If not, I could go with the PAC AmpPro, but I’ve had zero issues with noise, or anything else, with the Fix. I just need more than what my TwK D8 can provide.
It looks like the MiniDSP has toslink input. What do you think about keeping the Fix82, or would the PAC AmpPro be a better option? I have the stock Uconnect 8.4. The Fix is just being used to sum the factory signal prior to the DSP.
You could also move up to a DSP Ultra. It's 12-channel which gives you some room for expansion, but more importantly, it's a newer ACO-based device that supports Virtual Channels (and the other normal ACO stuff like FX features, 10 tune slots, Android app that does everything the director does, etc). You don't get any of that with the Pro Mk2... Personally, I don't think I'd buy a new Helix that wasn't ACO-based at this point.
But I find parts of their software a bit difficult to navigate. This part irritates...
Where as with the Helix pretty much straight forward.
Don't know much about the mini DSP. I like to play around with the software before I buy the product. They don't allow download of their software if you don't have their product. I have the Helix DSP Ultra to install soon.
I do not pretend to understand the intricacies of the different options that are out there. I have a guy that handles my tuning and installs. My job is to enjoy the end result. It appears that this DSP will work perfectly for the layout that I'm planning.
As a reminder, my layout is below..
Factory HU (RAM 8.4 Uconnect)
PAC AmpPRO AP4-CH41 w/TOSLINK (will use TOSLINK on new install)
Rockford Fosgate Power T400X4ad
Rockford Fosgate Power T400x4ad
Rockford Fosgate Power T750x1bd
Hertz MLK Millie Legend 1650.3 (6.5" woofer and tweeter)
Hertz MLK Millie Legend 700.3 3" midranges
Hertz MPX Millie Pro 6.5" coaxial (rear doors)
Alpine R Series 12"
I'm reusing my JL FiX82 in my daughter's new vehicle. I may give her the TwK D8 also.
So again, does anyone see a downside to using the miniDSP C-DSP 8x12DL? Would this DSP allow me to have a tune that defeats the rear fill speakers for competing and another preset tune(s) that includes the rear fills?
I'll be around a lot more now that things are somewhat back to normal.
Thanks!!!
