JL FiX-86

Anyone have any personal experience with the JL FiX processors? From what I've read on the website it sounds pretty promising for the Rushmore bikes. Chris Lowe posted on Facebook about getting good results with louder and cleaner sound. Just curious for a review from someone who doesn't sell them.

Matt not saying this works or doesn't work but you saw a post by a vendor say this works followed by him saying you can buy them from him! 
of course it's awesome!! Only person here that mentioned it was Bunker, a local shop uses then he said. My only concern with the Fix is the on/off bin files. If you calibrate for off and it sounds great what happens when you turn te bike on and the signal changes. Might work awesome for a parked bike and ok for a running bike. We'd have to find out how/if it changes with the different bin files. What I really don't like is you need another 300.00 add on to access the software and DSP settings. For less than 600 bucks you can get a DSP and do it yourself.
I think your correct...need someone not selling it to give u an honest review.

^^^^ Listen to Haze. Pump the brakes, use your line levelers you know work, let people experiment and guenia pig it and wait till some time and user feedback shows it's worth. This has been mentioned on here few times last couple months with no traction. Hell I mentioned the clean sweep
( discontinued older model like the fix) and didn't get any feedback. This may or may not be the next great thing. Save your money for now.

I gave up on the DSP route, it's too damn expensive!
Why would I pay $600+ to KEEP the stock system, makes no sense to me.
If you buy a FiX, you CAN use it by itself BUT, as haze said, you can't program the DSP without the TwK.
Fosgate has the 3.sixty.3 (I believe ultraNutz has one) but that's even pricier and the clean sweep is basically the same as the Line Levelers (I think the FiX is dynamic which makes it appealing to me).
I tried to find out more but my thread lost traction real quick.

More info?
Bike? Amp? "Stock" flash? Line levelers or no?
More importantly, where did you stuff it?
