actually, the delay is just from left and right.

currently run coaxes in the STi and a pair of 10+ year old MB QUART 218s in my toyota truck (when MB QUART was still making quality stuff...)

So you would have to run a second set of amps, and find an active crossover to set the points.

yeah... and the problem with that is????

And then it would be even nastier sounding for the passenger (if you care about that.)

no. lol....

well actually, there is a setting to set balance in back to normal.

Much easier to properly install the equipment in the first place.

Install and placement is 10x more valuable than effects like time correction.

trust me, i have listened to footwell pods, to horns (anyone remember harry kimura's acura legend?) that got popular in the early to mid 90s (been into car audio since mid 80s).

even the top competitors who had horns used digital delays. and back then, they were bulky and expensive.

then i went to an IASCA show (late 90s) and found that they changed the rules from dual judges to a single judge, when it came to sound quality, on the way home i bought a sony digital/elec crossover device.

havent looked back since.
