Sooo, almost $200 for something you're probably only going to use once?

Chris don't take this the wrong way but you do know the sound in a convertible is always going to suck ass regardless of how you tune it...right?

Sitting still it will be decent but at a roll and especially with the top down it will be mediocre at very best.

I'm pretty sure he's gonna listen to his car stereo a lot more than once.

The processor stays in the car, the $30 isn't. The audio settings without this processor are minimal.

Water is wet and the sky is blue, I'm not looking to compete in SPL competitions.

For this auto-tune, none of the settings can be modified at all. However it presents you with three curves you can choose from after the testing: Linear, Reference, Reference w/midrange comp. You can save two and recall either of them off the HU. Unfortunately if you want to tune it yourself, you have to go thru the menu on the HU not the laptop
