[QUOTE="billj214, post: 1112524, member: 21853"] Mickey, I actually have a Helix DSP Pro running off the Sony amp outputs but even with this configuration you are limited to what the head unit or sony amp provide your DSP. After tuning my DSP using this configuration it's necessary to run some frequency levels at max and others at min while still unable to achieve that frequency and anything over 12k is missing entirely and this is not due to my components used. The PAC interface is an alternative to using Forscan to program the PCM/Sony amp to remove the frequency programming and provide a flat output. The issue I have with Forscan programming is that programming can be overwriting by the dealership at any time with a software upgrade which means you have to program it again and who knows if the program will still work. My suggestion to you is prioritize the PAC unit over a DSP, the PAC unit is programmable to customize frequencies based on your output and if it sounds good to you then your done, as a bonus down the road you can add a DSP if you need it. The main reason I was following threads on use of the PAC is to find out what the frequency output is, most of the DIYMA guys will use O-scopes or mic's to measure output. I will have my PAC delivered this Friday and installed by the following week where I can help provide a little more feedback. Also FYI I found another site to buy the PAC unit, it was on Walmart.com for $215. FYI, Thanks for feedback. [/QUOTE]
