Replacement for 3SIXTY.2

[HHawk 0]

Okay, this is the deal; my current 3SIXTY.2 broke (it's the second one which has broken). The red light keeps blinking and according to Rockford Fosgate it means the Bluetooth chip on the 3SIXTY.2 is broken.

I also contacted Rockford Fosgate Europe, they can repair it, but it will cost me 200 Euro's!!! That's insane!

Anyways, I am thinking about ditching the Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.2 and go for a different brand.

The only options I have found so far are:

- JBL MS-8 (still not in production, wait will be to long)

- Audison Bit-1 (still not in production, wait will be to long)

- Macrom EXT.A1DSP (expensive, looks like a redone PPI DCX 730)

- PPI DCX 730 (hard to get, no support)

- AudioControl DQL-8 (don't know much about their products)

I am running 3 amplifiers; 2 are strapped (for the subwoofers) and 1 is bridged (for the composets).

I was using the 3SIXTY.2, though it did it's job perfectly, it's not very reliable. Since I already had 2 units with broke down.

So I need your guys advice regarding a new soundprocessor. Currently AudioControl's DQL-8 looks to be my best, but I can hardly find any user reviews on the unit. Is it really any good? And more reliable than the RF 3SIXTY.2?

If you have another option, please share it!

Please advice!

Thanks for your time and help in advance...

That is far far too much processing you need for a set of components and a pair of sub amps.

Basic LPF and HPF on a head unit is enough.

You say you've bridged the amp for the components. Why not run it in 4 channel mode and do a 2-way active setup in front ? And use a head unit capable of that ?
