Yeah, that's a great product.]]>Dec 17th 2006 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/Dec 17th 2006 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/Other than that, its a cute idea, but I'm not paying $1000 for it.]]>Dec 17th 2006 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.alpine.com/e/products/f1/index.html)? I'm a car audio guy. For example, I won a regional sound quality competition at Nassau Coliseum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassau_Veterans_Memorial_Coliseum) a few years back. Anyway, you can't use factory speakers if you want good sounds. It just doesn't happen. They can't support the proper frequency ranges. The alpine f1 came out a few years ago and it dynamically calculates how the music sounds as it bounces off the insides of your car and comes back to the unit. It times each driver properly and adjusts things on the fly. Essentially what this guy is claiming. And you can't do it with factory speakers if you want it to be any good. You need focals or morels in addition to a good sound processor.

i have concert speakers in my suburban 2 cerwin vega afterburner subs powered by 2 planet audio big bangs

and yes thier doing it

just get a decent head unit and you can do this same shit with any full range equilizer like i used to have an old dj 19"rack mixer hooked into my head unit but now im using a simple laptop and 24bit addons sound card and im off i can control everthing from various software

i know all that sounds expensive but all you really need from my setup is a laptop and the proper software trust me it works and plus you can use it as a mp3 player and dvd player for your screens

as for speakers for my highs i only use components i only have coaxial 10x4's and some old sony xplodes in the doors they get down off my little 400 watt 2 ohm american pro amp


anyway people just get good equiptment and install them properly and hear the diffrence]]>Dec 20th 2006 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/
This appears to be just a preset multiband equalizer that has been tuned to the audio-characteristics of the vehicle's passenger compartment and factory speakers.

The part of the technology that is cool is that this is all being done with a small dsp (DPS is the name of the product) that could ultimately be put in all factory radios. Of course you will get better sound with better components, but at the low end this will probably make a huge difference.]]>Dec 17th 2006 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/Dec 18th 2006 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/17/bongiovi-acoustics-unveils-miracle-dsp-chip-for-car-audio/Dec 18th 2006 1:25PM
