If i connect the bit one to the HU, will the outputs on the headunit be audio processed? For example the Aux jack in front of the HU or the Pioneer Rear Ipod cable?   if yes, Anwser #2   2. which is better sound quality, Istreamer to bitone OR Istreamer connected via a RCA to Headphone jack cable connected to the headunit aux jack located at the back of the HU. also of course HU to Bitone (second option is so i dont have to use the audison controller and use the HU to switch between all my sources.   Last question...If i have 2 highs 2 mids 2 bass speakers connected to an Aftermarket Amp with a one or two subs running in the trunk and of course the ipad install. I know the bit 10 is cheaper with less inputs. can it support all thats mention above?  ...    less

Got it working and now I'm in the wave mode and I have no idea what I'm looking at.  What is the objective of this program?  Am I supposed to be trying to get the wave line at or below the red line, is it supposed to be a specific spot, what am I aiming for.  If I could understand that, I could understand how to play with it.     The sub in question is a Hertz High Energy HX300D.  It will be ran at 2 ohms (it's a dual 4ohm) and powered by an HDP1 (1000 x 1 @ 2ohms, 600 x 1 @ 4ohms).  The RMS on the sub is 600 watts and the max is 1200 watts.     I did a quick enclosure design on Torres Box Calculator and came up with this:   Then I plugged that into winISD and this is what Iv'e got going on.  I'm posting this tab by tab going through the box.  The peak is at 1.1...    less

Like for example the JL W7 and W7AE. No big deal I'm just curious. Thanks Soundman OG's.

Basically between the JL 10w3v3-2 or Boston Acoustics G310-44 for more of a SQ sub then SPL. I have up to 300watts RMS @ 4ohm and 500 RMS @ 2 ohm (I plan on running at 2 ohm) from the amp I have. I would be putting them the sealed box, the size the manufacturer recommends (.5cuft for boston and .625cuft for JL). Also I usually listen to country, electronic, rock, and some rap/pop if that makes a difference. I can get both for around the same price and I had seen online that the boston was compared with a w6, but I was a little sceptical of that. I have an JL 8w1v2-4 right now (added to my OEM setup that already had an 8") and liked the JL, plus I know the w3 is a good sub, just wasn't sure of the boston (though I definitly like it uses a small enclosure, I don't want a massive box). My plan is to replac...    less
