I agree with the monolith. Reactions: Danzilla31 and sgtkahuna

Might be helpful to use the onboard dsp in a sub, but I'd rather have external dsp/control and capable of multiple subs. Overall I'd still rather have the higher performing sub myself, so another vote for the Monolith. Reactions: sgtkahuna

I agree with the monolith. Click to expand... Yeah you have to have REW to know what's going on with EQ bands. Otherwise it's like playing darts blindfolded. Your just throwing changes out there and you don't even know if anything even hit the board
