After having the suggestion put out there while upgrading the OEM Sony system to include a processor before my amplifiers, what recommendations do people have for best bang for the buck?
Note: Upgraded system will only be front soundstage components and subwoofer

One vote MS8.
How come I knew that is where you would go. I am hoping for something that comes in a little cheaper.

I might have to use that in the V and do a sub, system is good but surprisingly not as good as the Flex.

Things I have to buy and install:
Blacked out headlights
Lower pulley
camshaft

Things I've bought that need to be installed:
Injectors
BAP
ZL1 lid
Nitrous setup from Flex

Once I get that done and have some 10 second slips I'll think about audio. :)

What about an Audison Bit 10? They tend to be about $400.

I know the Premium Sound Quality shop we have in St Louis, that's the cheapest one they offer. lol

Closest thing Ive used is the Kicker Sum8, and didn't really care for it. Kicker now has a Front Stage(or center stage) processor, and I wouldn't mind trying it out. I get kicker at about 75% off retail, so it would be dirt cheap to "try".

Edit: Kicker is called Front Row. Retail $250, my cost is well under $100. LOL

Front Row looks cool, missing critical features of a processor (and amp channels) but might work, might not.

Was turned off by this line in the "Hype" section , "Simulated 5.1 Surround Sound "

Not sure if the Kicker Front Row has line level inputs either.

Just read the manual and looks like it does not require a line level converter.
