Audio processor

[Abjonesiii]

Hey all, recently upgraded the sound in my 2014 silverado ( components, amps, sub) now looking at adding a processor to clean things up a bit. I have a good ear for sound but no real experience with tunning a system. I was looking at the jbl ms8 for ease off use but not sure.

 

Any body add a processor to their 2014 yet. What did you choose and why?

Id be interested to hear the difference with and without one. The guy at the audio shop said they're not as effective with newer equipment.

my stereo install shop told me the same. They said the sound processing in my JL hd900/5 was more than capable of handling it.

While the JLhd900/5 is an awesome amp, it is not really capable of doing processing, just crossovers. need something like an audio son bit1 or bit10, jl cleansweep, fosgate 3sixty, audio control, etc

If you don't mind me asking.. What components did you add?

I have a JBL MS-8 in my 2009 GMC Sierra Denali. But I have gone full aftermerket. There is nothing from the original Bose system left in it. Everything is run active off the MS-8 and sounds great.

Or a JBL MS-8.

Here you can see the JBL MS-8 processor next to the JL Audio HD900/5 amp.

I added a Jl audio cleansweep with a Jl audio signal summing interface. I am running 2 arc audio amps(1200 watt subs 500 watt mids highs) and focal mids and tweets with massive audio subs.While the sound is definitely better than factory, it is still lacking the sound that my alpine INA w910 put out with same setup. Thinking about trying the fosgate 360.3 but it is expensive!
