no worries DWR. That confusion happens all the time! Anyways, how does the toe jam taste today?? hhahaha.
All i meant abour the dcx and it's problems, were reliability issues. I have had two, both have had fifferent problems.
Others have had the dcx with no problems, that was all. The actual functionality and capability I was not questioning. Tho, esp in the more refined systems, maybe it is not the ideal ticket. Subs in those systems?? no worries I reckon.
Re the deq 2496, others have had problems with that unit, whereas I have not!! So, I simply put that down to some bad apples sneaking thru every now and then, which probably reflects their asking price?
In fact, I use the deq on my suns WITH the deqx (not deq 2496, that other one). I had sealed subs sitting around unused, which did not have the frequency response I needed. I spent a lot of time doing sims and calculating what type of bandpass to build with my drivers, to get the response I wanted.
THEN, I realised I could make the subs do that response if I used the deq 2496, and save all that hassle of building a big bandpass. Talk about slow eh?
So now I tailor the subs to do exactly what I want first, then run it all with the deqx.
So in fact I use both ends of the quality spectrum.
