Appearently, not every summing interface works well w the GS OEM nav unit. Can anyone comments on these 2 here:
kicker ZXSUM8 vs JL CL441dsp Cleansweep

Which is better & works better when using an aftermarket Amp?

Support needed, Thanks!

Dam!
So, noone on here is using the OEM Nav unit w a summing interface & aftermarket amp?

I'm running a Cleansweep with stock Navagation head unit with JL Audio 1000/1 amp with single 12" JL Audio W7. and alpine mrpf250 amp with Alpine sps171a 6.5 component speakers for the doors.It sounds great.+ the cleansweep has a aux input.for the ipod.

i am using the OEM NAV with aftermarket gear. im not exactly using a setup like you have...another member and myself are using the alpine VPA hub to adapt everything.

i still retain my oem nav using aftermarket amps (except on the nav the OEM ML amp is still in the trunk) i think they tapped the wires but im not sure....

Doneve79

Sweet!
Im just trying to see if there is any difference between the two. Besides, kicker is less expensive than JL. if there isnt any differences btwn the 2, i might go w the kicker.

thanks for you input

Doneve79

Yeah, we have to keep the ML amp due to the head unit. however, my sound isnt the best right w/o the interface. will do some research abt what you suggested. tht's the name of it 'alpine vpa hub'?

Cool, thx!

its called a Alpine VPA-B222 Vehicle Hub Pro

i went overboard on my audio so all the things i have arent needed (even though im currently redoing it and going to add a second RE audio XXX sub and rework the trunk and probably the armrest)

you can check it out here....

although the title says its done, its still not lol

I too got te cleansweep but you will also need a summoning unit to make it work, which is the SSI

Doneve79

holycrapt man! yeah, you went out all the way. Im sure you had a sweet, clean sound after. Im just looking for something nice & clean, clear w the aux for ipod. Right now, im using the cassette adaptor for my ipod which suck big time. not clear at all!

yeah, im going out even further cause im retarded. i think im gonna upgrade to diamond hex pro components (OR BETTER) when i add the 2nd sub

Doneve79

Too bad i live so far away.. i'd luv to see that build. My last question to you. Basically, If i get tht piece will i need any other components & it will give me access to add my ipod & also will convert the signal etc..?

Doneve79

yeah, i want to make sure i get 1 unit that can do it all. Im not trying to have a fullblast system...

need any other components to do what.....?

I am in the same boat right now.. I just did a custom install in my gs300 06.. 2 type r 10 inch subs, with 2 kenwood 9104 d amps.. the problem is the bass is rolling off after above 42 or so volume on the head unit. After doing research.. I picked up an Audiocontrol LC7 as it has summing built in.. also aux port for ipod and has a bass control ****.... I hope i made the right decision.. any input... I dont mean to thread jack either.. just wanting to make sure I am doing the right thing!
