Ok, as you seen on my other post On what I recently installed and was tossing the idea of installing some Midbass drivers, so I was thing “ AGAIN” what if I installed a DSP just on a 4 speaker system 2 fairing and 2 lids, right now it does sound loud, clear and good so, would a DSP really make it sound that much better than what it is. I did reach out to NVS Audio and they would send me a DSP (pre tuned) and a T harness for my setup. What everyone’s take on this or should I leave it alone.

You will not gain $600-700 worth of better sound. And I don't even know what speakers amp you are running. But if they are all coax, you're not going to gain much.
Proper gain and crossover setting is what makes a system. 9 out 10 people that listen a bike with proper gain and x-over settings vs a DSP bike, wouldn't know the difference.
NVS will sell the **** out of a DSP to you. Why? Because its easy money for him.

I'll share my own experience with going down the DSP path. When I had my system set up at first I thought it sounded OK. It was definitely loud and clear. Then again gunfire is loud and clear. I soon noticed that most of what I was hearing was mids and highs. The lower frequencies just got washed away in the wind. Adjusting the bass didn't really give me the sound I was after. What I really needed to do was lower the midrange frequencies. When tuning audio it is usually advisable to subtract before adding so to speak.
To test my theory I plugged up an old Alphasonik EQ I had left over from the eighties and fiddled with it. I immediately knew at that point that I wanted a DSP. The ability to subtract unwanted frequencies is even more important that trying to boost frequencies that you like, because at speed boosting will only get you so far.
I guess in a nutshell if I only had two speakers I would still want a DSP of some kind. It really can make that much of a difference.
