It's just another tuning feedback tool brother. If we all leverage these various tools just a bit to improve our education & understanding what is taking place behind the curtain, then there are very good odds that our tuning will improve.

If ur tune sucks while parked, it will certainly suck when riding. I have 2 tunes, a parked tune and a riding tune that is a bit more aggressive in some freqs and less aggressive in other freqs all clearly displayed on an RTA.

At the end of the day, it's just a discussion in an attempt to exchange some info about sled audio tuning.

I'll throw in something I was tinkering with this week that made a difference in the fairing speaker's sound. Second skin sound deadening material. I don't know if it will help the Rushmore guys or not if they are using those pods but on my 2010 it helped tame the harshness of the Motos in the fairing a noticeable amount.

Also if something comes loose and starts bouncing around in there having that coating of rubber wouldn't hurt.

I'd like to see how your results compare to mine. I went through this last year when that bs about key-on vs running thread started. I posted a bunch of pics of the readouts.

In talking about compact budget DSPs this little guy showed up on Ebay when I was looking around:

Stetsom STX 2436

When I looked at pictures of it on the Amazon listings it looks to be the perfect size and has the perfect harness for what I am looking for. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is Bluetooth only as far as the configuration interface, but if it works then what the heck. The Google Play Store has the app up for download with a demo mode:

STETSOM - STX2436

Has anyone heard of that company Stetsom or used any of their products? I am really intrigued by that little guy.

it looks to be only 2 in and 4 out? If your gonna get a dsp why not pay a little extra and get one you can use on your entire system. You will be amazed how nice it is to be able to tune each speaker separate, even if only small differences.

At the moment 2 in 4 out is exactly what I am looking for. My rear speakers sound fine with the EQ adjustments of their amp (TM400x4ad). I am interested in a cheaper, more basic unit for just the four front speakers. If I go hog wild down the road I could see spending big bucks, but right now I don't have the urge or the cash to do so.

Stetsom been around since the 90s. Taramps came around and pretty much smoked them. PRV is the newish kid, weren't around in my days but they are killing both.

I give Stetsom credit for allowing you to download the software to try out before buying their product.

In playing with it though I found that the graphic equalizer setting is only applied to the inputs. That is something I didn't think about. I would really like a unit that allows EQ settings on the outputs. Is that something that other DSPs allow or is that common?

Also do y'all know of any other vendors that allow their DSP software to be purchased and tinkered with before buying their product?
