  1. Recode your head-unit to Hifi (More links in Base Audio, above)
  2. Clean/sum the signal
  3. Use a MOST (proprietary fiber optic) compatible pre-amp. (Logic 7 or EPS only)

Even if you pick option 1, there are still many reasons to add a processor. Here are all the benefits:
  • Clean / De-EQ the factory signal
  • Sum the factory signal from multiple channels to get a full-range signal
  • Time-alignment of individual channels (including for each seating position)
  • Automatic level matching/calibration/EQ
  • Road Noise Compensation
  • Compressed media (i.e. MP3) compensation

Not all processors have every capability, again know your goals. Some of the options:
