Hello there.
Cross posted here as well as that "other" forum . I didn't see an equipment suggestion forum, so I put this here, hope it is in the correct spot.
While there is nothing "wrong" with my current system, the entire "I wonder if this would be better" has sunk in again and I may be changing some stuff out.
I currently have a:
Helix P Six DSP MK2
Audiofrog GB15 Tweeters
Audiofrog GS690 Mids
Oncore SM10 Sub
I know that there are plenty of knowledgeable people to help with tuning and all of that, and while my current (self done) tune isn't bad, I don't have much to compare to. On that note, I have been reading about the new MiniDSP with Dirac Live and seeing people talk highly of it ... and all without me having to do/know as much with regards to tuning "by hand". This is a high selling point.
So lets just say that I go that route and grab a MiniDSP ... I would now need an amplifier as the DSP in the Helix would not be needed.
I have some size restrictions as to what I can fit under the seat where my current setup is, roughly 2" x 10"-12" x up to 8". The connections must also be on the long side(s).
New system would consist of:
Same Audiofrog GB15 Tweeters
NEW Audiofrog GB60 Mids (these are already here, but not yet installed)
Same Oncore SM10
??? Amplifier
I have narrowed it down to the following, mostly based on size, and budget (I would like to stay around $500, new or used, at the most), but may have left something out. I would like to stay with a single amp for the entire system. Suggestions based on these, or something else would be appreciated.
Pioneer GM-D9705, 75x4@4 + 350x1@4 (Seems to be an ok budget amp)
Kenwood x802-5, 50x4@4 + 300x1@4
Alpine PDX-V9, 100x4@4 + 500x1@4 (Older amp, overheating issues?)
Alpine PDR-V75, 75x4@4 + 250x1@4
Alpine X-A90V, 75x4@4 + 300x1@4
JL Audio HD900/5, 100x4@4 + 500x1@4
JL Audio XD700/5v2, 75x4@4 + 180x1@4
JL Audio XD600/6v2, 75x4@4 + 200x1@4
AudioControl LC-6.1200, 125x4@4 + 400x1@4
Arc Audio XDi 1200.6, 150x4@4 + 600x1@4 (Size is close to not fitting nicely)
Arc Audio XDi 1100.5, 150x4@4 + 275x1@4
Helix P Six DSP MK2 (Would be a waste of the DSP, but I could just keep this for the amplifier portion)
If you have a small good, better, best ranking as well that would be wonderful.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
