Re: $2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
Audiodesign is the general distributor for the European Union for Musway.
Just like they are for Kicker and Rockford Fosgate.
The Musway had some really good reviews over here in Germany, but pricewise they are comparable to the Helix offerings.
And if you have to pay the same amount for a Helix as you do for a Musway i would choose the Helix.
$2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
In the UK it’s up for £520 on the Musway eBay store.
Just tried the app and it looks just like the Nakamichi-DSP app but with more functions.
Shame it doesn’t have shelf or allpass filters then it would be perfect.
For the £140 more a Helix Match 7UP does it all so it’s a tough call if the extra money is worth it.
Does look like a bargain if it works well.
Sadly my Nakamichi-DSP didn’t and was broken by the time I fitted it with no warranty coverage :(

Forgive my igorance, but when would I need to use an all pass filter or shelf? I'd like to know what important features I might miss with the Musway. Thanks

All pass filters are misunderstood by most, including myself. Knowing when and how to use one is very advanced level of tuning. I wouldn't be concerned not having it. Shelf filters can be useful and convenient, but aren't really needed for a good sounding tune. They're just an easy way of getting a bass or treble boost, without individual eq band boosting.
Re: $2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
In simplest terms, all pass filters help make two speakers sum together better. It only works for when two things are playing together. If you just have one thing, you will never hear a difference. Kind of like a polarity swap. No difference with one thing, but playing with something else, noticeable difference.
they do this by changing the phase around a specific frequency that you set, kind of like advanced time delay type of stuff.
They CAN be the difference in am amazing tune and world championship winning tune. It’s like that last 1% of tuning.
now they can also be needed with some newer vehicles. Some people do some CRAZY things to factory oem tunes….
Edit* You should probably have something that can measure phase if you are going to be getting into all pass filters. Something like Open Sound Meter, an xlr microphone, and a microphone to computer interface like the focusrite 2i2 or motu m2.

I have a spectrum calibrated umik-1, if I needed more I have an re-320 mic and interface too.
Re: $2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
A vocal/instrument microphone is not the same as a measurement microphone. You will do more harm than good with that. If you already have an interface a emm-6 might be good for you....but this is well after you learn the basics of tuning. You are not there yet.
Re: $2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
If I remember correctly, maybe I’m not, but I think Nick A. (In a helix REW video) used the first and last peq bands as a shelf (same concept as a subsonic filter I believe)… to basically turn off frequencies above or below a certain point. So for example, you set a shelf at 22k with a Q of 1.. so the speaker doesn’t waste power or effort playing above my listening range.

I'm not sure there is much value in doing that, but you could do the same thing, and even do it better with the crossover.
Re: $2500 Full SQ System Suggestions
Did you not read the first part where I said I had a calibrated UMIK-1. I was saying I had a second mic as well
