2017 RG Special head change options
I have the 2017 RGS with 6.5 touchscreen/nav. head. I upgraded system with amp,processor, and speakers. I really feel that I could do better by doing away with factory head unit. Going to add rear speakers this winter, and want to get some feedback on what is available. What I have is good, but could be better. My current setup is CV 600 watt amp,JL Audio Fix 86, and Hertz speakers. Maybe I am being too picky here, but I have a friends with aftermarket heads and have more umph than mine. All info is appreciated.

Replacing fix86 with RF DSR1 processor. Keeping factory head unit and adding 8 inch lid speakers, tweeters, and 10 inch sub. Adding an amp to push it. Santa thinks I behaved this year.

In my limited understanding, a processor does the work and replaces BT355. I am open to any info contrary to this. I did have my unit flashed at dealer, but do not recall details of flash. seems like it was the no rear speaker option.

I am by far a guru on this, as I'm learning like the rest. I don't know that a line leveler in front of a dsp would make the tuning process any easier or not. I used a BT355 before I got the Arc PSM, but no longer use it. The dsp takes place of the BT355 and IMHO does a lot better job of correcting the stock eq curve even with Arcs out of the box tune. Of course, tuning with the dsp really makes the big difference.
