Default Which DSP do you like best?
Just wondering what all the installers think about DSPs. Which ones have you tried, which ones seem to work the best, which ones have least amount of software / app problems, etc.

Also, system configurations used on. 2-4-6-8 speakers, subs.

And wile we are at it, anyone try the amps with built in DSPs?

If I might add on, which ones fit where the best? Is ARC PSM preferred due to size even though RF DSR-1 has more EQ bands? Or is RF DSR-1 overkill for sleds?

ARC for me strictly based on size. Fits under the hood. Riding / Touring is a higher priority than audio thus my bags and/or TP are not available for any more audio gear than what's already there.

I am with you there. I've been told that DSR-1 could fit also in a Rushmore fairing on the clutch side of the BT brackets. Since it is cheaper than the PSM I was wondering if it was a viable option.

Whatever I end up with is definitely going in the fairing so that is good to know.
