[QUOTE="Drgonzo3000, post: 1609937, member: 46732"] For the DSP I took the advice from someone on here and went with the Dayton Audio DSP-408. Price was nice and it looked to be full of options... And then the issues started. Their documentation is very lacking for the unit itself. it's non-existent for the computer software. the software is PC only and is very buggy. So vehicle stuff I use a Dell Mini which I have been using for tuning my cars, forscan, all sorts of stuff. Daytons software bugged out and won't scale for the screen resolution. Like the resize/close buttons on the top left were gone. So out came old trusty, a thinkpad running winXP from probably 2000 timeframe. It actually worked which was nice seeing as it's the last PC laptop I have and I seriously doubt it would run on Wine on my Mac. Seriously, why no Mac port! High level inputs didn't work at all, so I depinned then and was going to go the route of the ACM low level. Extended the haness and used RCA jack plugs. With it all wired up I went to test for sound and nothing. Checked all mixer settings and everything was good. After messing with it for some time I found out that I would only get sound if only the positive low level lead was plugged in. if the negative lead was attached there was no sound. So I disconnected the ground leads on all 4 inputs and now I had sound... WTF! Must be some weird ground issue with the DSP and the main ground wire coming from the T harness, IDK but it works and the sound it clean. DSP is mounted on another plastic mount formed around the backup/video module behind the screen. it's a perfect spot as if I need to plug in the laptop to make adjustments I just need to pop off the top tray and I can plug right in.
