The MOST bus is a standards based protocol bus system for 12v audio applications. Remember the Toshiba TOSlink optical connector? MOST works on the same principle but it not a single company standard. Anything running MOST uses the same connectors. Some of the MOST DSP makers have automaker specific models because it knows what is on each channel already. Replacing the stock amp with a MOST DSP has a lot of benefits.
- These DSP's allow you to use your phone or PC to customize
- There are a lot of channels in the MOST bus, DSP allows you to ignore or preference the channels to which outputs you want
- The DSP with the most outputs allow for better spatial configuration
- Doing all the work in the DSP allows you to leave your amps at default
- Their are compact motorcycle/marine amps now available that would allow you to squeeze all this under the trunk floor without having to show off anything
If I can get one of these DSP's imported for less than what the crazies on eBay want for them, I'm probably going this exact route. And instead of subs in the trunk, I'm likely to switch out the cabin speakers for better drivers with a good SPL rating.
At my age I'm looking for clarity at any volume with some elevated bass response.
