I am having one of these two options installed to finish my first SQ setup this weekend and would appreciate any advice. This will be added to a system with components up front and 2-10's in a sealed box in the back.

The DQ61 is marginally cheaper, but not enough to sway my vote if the Bit10d is that much better.

My biggest concern is whether either of these have any issues when integrating with a stock bose system without affecting the Bluetooth, navigation or safety warning features of the stock system.

Other than any potential integrations issues, my gut tells me the DQ would be sufficient, but the Bit10d could be a worthwhile step up since it includes cross overs and has a better EQ and TA features. I have heard a car with the Bit One and it sounded great, but was more than I want to spend so I think the Bit 10d would be the best option since it shares most of the same features, but wanted to double check before I drop the cash.

Thanks

Forgot one other issue that may swing the vote:
DQ has the advantage of accu bass adjustment and a total of 6 speaker inputs vs 4 for the Bit10d. This may be important since the bose system doesnt use a full range signal (ie. sends separate signals for the upper mids/treble to the 3.5" in the dash, the mids and lows go to the front door speakers and a separate signal is sent to the subwoofer in the rear deck).

So the DQ will without a doubt provide for full summing capabilities by catching the dash speaker signal with Main channel, the mids/lows with channel 2 and the subs signal with the sub input. I lose the ability to fade, but this will work for an active 2 way setup with front stage only.

I think the integration with my system may require 5 input signals to get a full range signal. Can the extra digital input from the Bit 10d be used to capture the sub signal or are the 4 inputs from the front high and low frequency channels enough to sum for a full range signal.

Does anyone know the low end of the frequency range for the signal to the front door speakers on a bose system?

I do not have direct experience with Bose systems, but both processors have summing capabilities on their inputs, so I will have assume either one will work from that perspective.

Beyond input summing, it seems to me the BIT10d provides a LOT more functionality than the DQ61. Doesn't even seem close. The BIT10d can provide the crossovers needed to run your system active. DQ61 cannot. The BIT10d can provide time-delay to each individual driver. The DQ61 cannot. The BIT10d can store and recall different configurations. DQ61 cannot. etc. etc.
