I'm intending on buying an Alpine Head Unit and am wondering if the 4-channel digital time correction [Bass Engine Plus] is a worthwhile (noticeable) feature for the money? And how about the additional upgrade for the 5-Band Digital Parametric Equalizer [Bass Engine Pro]? Or is it better to save the cash and wait and see and buy aftermarket signal processing equipment if necessary?

Save the cash and buy an additional processor if needed. I had a 9835. The TA was fine but the EQ sucks.

Whats the price difference? I cant imagine it'd be much...I have the 9815 ...bass engine pro is nice but a stand alone piece would be vastly superior...and quite abit more $!

pxa-h701 vs. bass engine pro features and flexibility...(perhaps "vastly superior " was a bit strong)....and price wise, my point exactly...

there is a noticeable difference to running a deck without t/c to running a deck with properly setup t/c i run a 9835 and the deck sounds stunning. the eq is decent, the xovers rock and the time correction really kicks ***. i think the deck is worth the money.

I have the 9813, the second highest model from last year and I can vouch for the TA and XO and stuff being worth the extra money. Take a look at the 9833 if you're looking at current models.

Sounds like TA is fine but jury still out on the EQ. If you set up TA for the drivers seat position can you turn it off (at least the left vs right TA) for when you have passengers in the car? I would want TA for the sub at all times since it is mono and will be in the back seat. Is this possible or is it a one time set up?

You can have multiple settings. Just store them in one of the 6 presets. That way you can change "at the push of a button".
