Best sound processor for new car?

I have a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe V6 (LOVE IT) and if any of you have seen the dash of this car, I really can't see any dash kit ever being built for this thing. I had a 2003 Accord which I used a Rockford 3sixty.1 with and I did enjoy the way it worked, but did not like the quality of the unit. It was terrible for road noise and extra noise, and just didn't like the overall build quality of the unit. I know there is others out there like the JL Cleansweep and I think Alpine makes one as well.

Does anyone have any experience with these? What do you guys recommend?

BTW Ill be running a pair of Alpine Type R 6.5 components in the front, coax r's in the back, and 1 12" Type R Dual 2 ohm sub in a fiberglass hopefully ported box. Im trying to keep this system very simple.

PS Does anyone know if Joe from Visions in Prince George is still around?

I have not seen or heard from Joe in a long time now. If you want a really powerful processor, have a look at this Audio Control unit.

DQL-8 Eight Channel Line Output Converter with Auxiliary Input and Digital Signal Processing

Joe is back in the industry over at J&A Stereo in PG. As far as I know he is still using the ROFO 360.2. I know the 360.1/.2 has had its problems but induced noise was not one of them as far as I am aware, mostly blue tooth connectivity issues. Audio Control also makes some fine pieces, only prob is you have to sometimes use 2 different models in combination to get what you want.

Have you installed one of have any clients that have? Im really interested in this product and I am a huge Audio Control fan. I used to have one of the fancy 48 band EQ's. Analog of course .

I wonder what someone can pick these up for in Canada? They have a wide range of price on there and I don't REALLY need the controller because my car has Auxillary in. Im trying to figure out how you would adjust each input's eq with such a small screen? Thats one feature I loved about the Rockford.

Will do. How about for an amp on a dual 2 ohm Type R? I kind of want to run the sucker at 1ohm with a class D amp thats nice and small. I wish I woulda just bought a dual 4 ohm, but I bought a pair at the time

Hifonics BXi 606.
Claims to do 600rms @ 1 ohm but its a bit overrated and its a tiny amp. SHould do the trick for that Type - ArrrGGhh
