DIY Audio upgrade questions

[ILoveToDrive]

@RagnarKon helped me out with this yesterday and doing the ACM flash/setting the EQ to flat and THEN running the key DSP made ALL the difference in the world. I think this is a step that many miss that 100% needs to be done.

@gaaangs Can you explain what this means, what it does, and exactly what do do?

Yeah, If RagnarKon ever comes through Alabama I will have to buy him a beer for his contributions with my radio upgrades and pricing guides.

Does DSP in Kicker Amp correct sound processing for rear SSV pods w/6.5" Kicker speakers or do I still need to adjust Forscan?

I think you still need to do the Forscan, but maybe @RagnarKon can provide a better answer.

@NavyBronco75 is correct, Forscan is the way to go.

The Kicker amp does try to correct for it, but then you have fighting EQs and the end result is definitely a little on the ugly side. You'll get MUCH better results by simply disabling the factory EQ in Forscan. (And Kicker themselves actually recommends disabling all EQ/DSPs before running the Kicker Auto Setup.)

@RagnarKon, While on this topic, I don't have a laptop or the equipment to do this myself, is this something the dealership can do for me? Or do I need to go to an audio experts shop?

That would depend if FDRS lets you disable the EQ (and if your dealer is willing to do it).

I haven't played with FDRS since it was originally launched in 2018-ish (?), so not sure what capabilities it has nowadays. I know @flip was looking into it but I don't know how far he got.

So if the dealership won't/can't do it,(waiting to hear back from them) what are my options?
