[QUOTE="uriel250, post: 8869515, member: 681757"] I can't replace the Headunit, it's the whole 30inch~ screen with the speedometer connected to it (1 long screen) and the original headunit also controls all the safety systems in the car ... I was actually told by the local shop that if I buy Helix DSP or Helix amp with DSP built in from them - the authorized Helix dealer will send their rep to make proper adjustments and calibrate my system after the shop finishes the installation. They even said my Rockford Fosgate T400-4 is an "old" and "weak" amp, so better sell it and get Helix amp with built in DSP. They said if my amp had an "high level input" then they could get some decent quality out of it without installing DSP. But for $100 less than the price of the Helix DSP I can get the Rockford DSP1 but I will have to calibrate it on my own. Btw, do you know what's difference between Helix DSP Mini and Helix DSP Mini MK2? The MK2 is slightly more expesnive. For the sub, I decided to stay with the old Hertz HX300D sub that we got, however I will order tomorrow a smaller sealed box because it currently sits in a very large ported box. For the speakers, I will either get some Hertz MPK 165.3P Pro components and Hertz MPX 165.3 Pro rears OR Morel Hybrids 602 (without rears/cheap rears) or Tempo Ultra MK2 with rears of the same type. Is the Hertz combo "better" than the morel combo or 602 hybrids? I was told that the 602 hybrids are discontinued but they still sell them while supply lasts and replaced by the Hybrid 62 (2x the price of 602, out of my budget). [/QUOTE]
