You can use the rear for midbass drivers and you can control them in a bp x-over configuration and still have slope & time correction and they will still be in stereo.

Very flexible piece.

WITH sub?

Tell me how. I went over the manual extensively and studied Randy's 360.2 as I considered trading out my Alpine. As this photo shows, the unit has FRONT, REAR, CENTER, and SUB outs:



How does one get band pass midbass, bandpass midrange, high, AND sub out of that? They don't and IMO that's a damn shame.

Yes '3 way front end' is possible with no sub which it completely lame.

The 360.2 is a capable piece and the price is right but IMO not allowing for 3way+sub was a major oversight.

You are right, you cannot bandpass the mid and mid-bass. I would perhaps look at using the passive crossover for the tweeter and then bandpassing the mid and mid-bass with the 360.2 and still having the dedicated sub channel for your subwoofers.

But then your TA is gone, level adjustments are gone, adjustable crossover point is gone...

True for most this may be no big deal but this unit really plops itself in the same group as the Alpine H700/701 and AC pieces, that DO allow for 3way+sub.

Of course one can get around it. I would add a 2way electronic crossover after the 360.2 to split between the midbass and midrange. Still lose individual T/A and makes crossover setting level setting more complex.

Meh - like I said, it's a great piece aside from this and no USB.

Website lists it at $699 USD retail but I believe they can be had for less than that. One has to have a Palm with bluetooth as well to control it...

They can be had for 250 on ebay, I'm looking into one to replace my EPX2 possibly.

the elegant way to do a 3 way front stage and sub would be to run an active and take the sub out before the 360.2, since the sub usually needs much less processing, then you have TA on your midbass, mid, and tweeters, as well as the rest.

I'm still seriously considering this piece... the PDA thing is really stupid though.

I considered getting a 360.0 a while back...turned out that it was too much a hassle to tweak and go...I went with AC DQXS model..and I have plans on incorporating the DDC controller into my car permanently...it is very functional and quick to tune. Menu's are clear and easy to navigate through...also has 2 Para Eq's for Sub alone which omits the need for a bulky Sub Bass **** up front. The sound is warm and smooth with high impact dynamics that don't spill with oeverhang.
