Do either of these provide any real benefit in the car?
I need a second line driver and I want to know if it is worth the extra $ to get one of these or just the line driver.
The system is a daily driver sq with some spl comp duties.
I believe them to have a line driver in them but if they don't are they still worth getting?

1st thing .....there is no line driver in either unit .........they are unity gain meaning what comes in goes out .........they are sound processors

the bass cube is a 1 band parametric eq with a built in adjustable subsonic filter and a dash mounted control

the epicenter actually takes the lowest bass fundemental in the music and adds on 1/2 octave lower ............it was really good with cassette tapes or older music where the low bass doesn't exist as it adds it to the signal

this will help explain it (it's a 1.2 mb pdf file)

I did all this research before I bought a bass cube once...........

IMO just buy yourself a line driver

The audiocontrol 4.1i is a great line driver (13v peak) plus it has some good bass boosting features if thats what you are looking for. I picked mine up for around $100 on ebay, and have been very happy with it.

Bass cube isn't very usefull, unless you have a crappy sounding box and are trying to adjust your bass. The epicenter is pretty cool, especially for old recording that don't have much sub bass , it restores it. I wouldn't get one though, just because i have 10's.
