Actually, the best way to do it is to decide what your budget is, and then see what fits. As I posted just now in another thread, the MS-8 does fill a few blocks on the diagram.
However, there are two things the MS-8 does where the CleanSweep only does one.
The factory signal in a base Stereo car or a Logic 7 car is processed - equalized, crossover filtered at times, etc.
The MS-8 and the CleanSweep both will "normalize" that signal back to flat. In a base Stereo car, we use it on the full-range front outputs of the head unit.
The CleanSweep has no adjustments, though - it gets you to flat - to a HiFi signal - and no farther. The MS-8 has some auto-tuning and some manual tuning (not a lot of manual) to let you get farther.
So the CleanSweep is a legit approach for a base Stereo car. With a Logic 7 car, there are other ways to get it to work hitting the market very soon if you don't want to get the MS-8. The big question is do you want old-school two-channel or multichannel?
