It is counterintuitive and more straining to the system to eq over another eq with the manual eq. You also have limited filter control in addition to shoddy interface looks and remote. This does not even include the fact that the autoeq is extremely sensitive which usually causes less than desirable mid bass for most peoples preferences. I have heard great ms8 tuned cars but EVERY one of them has since changed over (or back to) to audison or mosconi with much brtter results. I've also had one fail on me as well. Never had a problem with the audison or the pioneer.

I have ran the ms-8 without an center channel with no problems at all. JBL recommends running one but it is not needed in any way to achieve great sound. The ms8 does flatten the eq'd signal you send it "high input" from a factory system, with the use of a aftermarket head unit it does allow for a flat signal to be used "no eq on head unit" You simply use the 21 band on the ms8 for your settings instead. Usually I have read the MS8 is the starting point for people and they move up to others.

OP I do recommend you reading into the mosconi before buying it as it can be a little overwhelming. I would recommend the audison for your first.

Hey Matt,
I agree, I will be going with the Audison. I did get a chance to look at the Fosgate 3sixty.3. Any thoughts?

A friend of mine had the Last fosgate 360, and it was riddled with problems.
He loved it when it was working, but he had frequent issues with it. Hopefully they worked the bugs out on this one!!!

I'm currently using the 3sixty.1 in my FX. I use a Palm Pilot via bluetooth, I haven't had any issues with it, although once it was set I didn't play with it much, didn't see the need. Here's a picture of the twins
