im thinking of getting the jl twk88. currently I have the factory navigation, bypassed factory amp to a jl xd 400.4 and infinity kappa6011cs components up front. from what I have read from other members our factory headunit has a pretty flat signal so I would not need anything like a cleansweep or the newer version fix86. ive read that adding a dsp will bring a setop like mine to life so to speak.
has anyone had the opportunity to test out the twk88 yet. any input would be great.

 

no-one?

 

Jl makes good stuff.

On a side note that unit is 429 at crutchfield.com and 629 at crutchfield.ca.... Grrrrr.....

I have my eyes on a minidsp 6 to 8 for this spring.

​​​​​​
​​​​​grrrrrr....

 

looks like the minidsp is similar to the jl twq but with a lower price. think i might look into that dsp.

 

how familiar are you with the minidsp. trying to compare the 2. if the mini does the same as the jl twq then ill opt for the cheaper

 

Not familiar except from what I have read about it. You cant find these sorts of things up in my area and I dont know anyone w external processing except for jl clean sweep. I have worked on a system in my old car which sounded pretty amazing when that car got totaled... I got a new one but have only done deadening so far... Still have my jl hd 900/5 and some nvx xsp tweeters which fit nicely in the stock dash locations with a little bit of cutting of some materials in those holes. Also have an old hertz hx 250d sub in a sealed box..... Have been planning on getting that minidsp for my new install this spring... Also gonna pick up a set of dayton audio rs180-4s and move my sub system to an infinite baffle config with either two 12" or 15" subs.

From what I can tell they both should be pretty good... I just think the minidsp is probably a better value since it doesnt have the jl name.
