Hi guys ,

Theres a small question needed some wide suggestion , I'm currently running on 2 channel passive system (Boston) + 1 channel mono block powered on Alpine x100 .
My friend let me to test his pxah100 on my player since its support external imprint , I can hear significant sound improve overall with a little minor tuning we did .

Since its a old model signal processor , I found on net theres now amplifier that has build in DSP .
The normal random brand I came across was from Blaupunkt / Nakamichi and Pegasus and knock of China .

The question is ;

1) Do you think its worth it to just get external SP like H100 rather then build in DSP .
2) Referring to build in amp with DSP , why are those extra channel till 8 of them .

Im not sure how well this can cope up with overall performance but I think I have to upgrade for better sound staging .

Please advise .

Thanks bro for your reply .

I actually was considering too , for example Alpine 9887 that has build in imprint .
The question is how effective build in player / build in amp / add on signal processor could difference on quality

As you know I hate messy wiring or add-ons .
I agree on the listening environment in-car , but just wanted to improve overall sound staging .
I have already done the big 3 , 2ply soundproof , ofc cables (as advised by Howie) . The only I need to strengthen mid bass placement .


Oh really , its a good component but feels hf is bit sharp . Overall is ok .
