Dayton dsp install
Not long ago I installed the SD800.4(bridged) and GZ yellow baskets in the fairing. Sounds really good and its loud.
So I had a chance to pick up a Dayton 408 dsp for a good price. I know it's not nessasary to run a dsp with what I have, but I'd want to learn about audio stuff.
So with no experience with DSPs, can anyone give some advice on how to wire the stock hu, amp speakers and dsp?
I'll run power and ground from the battery. What gauge and inline fuse will be best?
How does it all wire up?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks all

The Dayton comes with an inline fuse on its wire harness. There's a few different ways to wire the DSP in.
You can purchase a T-harness, American hard bag has one and I believe NVS has one.
You can supply power/ground through amp inputs(not the best choice)
You can use a distribution block that you have power/ground if it's closer than the battery.
Wiring is straight forward after that, you don't need a Line Output Converter, you can wire the high input straight into the DSP. Radio>DSP>Amp. Your going to want to make sure that your remote wire turns the DSP on first and then the output turns the amp on.
Just because you have the DSP doesn't automatically give you better sound. There is more than just putting it into your system. The correct way is getting a RTA mic and using software to correct the speakers. You're also going to want to flash your HU if you haven't done so already. Seeing that you have GZ, you probably can get a file uploaded from another member to get you on the right track with your tuning. So you can just upload it to the DSP.
I hope this information helped.

Honestly, unless you're really wanting to dive in and learn, as mentioned, a dsp is a little bit of a learning curve. I'm struggling a bit with it now myself.
For component speakers, while there is some advantage to using a DSP, not sure its worth it for the novice like me lol
Also, if you get a DSP, expect to be tweaking your tune for the rest of your audio life. lol

Thats good. I believe you can retain your fade option with that if you want it. If going with DSP most will use the 8/2 flash, but you'll have no fade option. You should be good to go. Have fun man!
