EPIC-160 - AudioControl In Dash Bass Maximizer W/ 160dB SPL Display

[grayta 23]

I was thinking about getting one of these (http://www.audiocontrol.com/14152/products/EPIC--160-In--dash-Car-Audio-Bass-Processor-and-160-dB-SPL-Display.html).  Anyone have experience with them?  I have always just used my headunit and the PAC LC1 to turn up my bass and it sounds fine but some people say it really does help improve your system's bass . I also heard that you really shouldn't use this product if you listen to bass enhanced music such as decaf/dj slow n throw/etc.. and thats mainly what I listen too.  Do you all think it will improve my system if I mainly listen to the music stated above?  Or do you think It wouldn't sound any different? What do you guys think?  Thanks.

They still sell those ?

I've always thought it was good for songs without good bass notes ! Like old rock music, spanish music, old recordings,...

 

It can destroy your sub faaast on bass music !

I would not want to use that in my car. I'm too afraid to break something. But a lot of people love those units and use them. Wait for some more info, as I'm not a specialist at all

Yea you can get them on Amazon and through Woofers Etc for around $199.  I have searched the web numerous times and found little reviews about this guy so I figured why not ask the forums and see if anyone has some input on them.  I hear its good and then I hear it's bad for my music taste/ set up haha. Thanks for the input though man!  Curious to see what everyone else has to say.

Waste of time for what you listen too, I had one and loved it. Buy with a proper enclosure and todays current music, its useless. Spend your money on other things if you need to improve your bass.

That's what I thought, people told me I could produce more lows and I am putting my sa-12s in a 28hz tuned box soon so thought it would be a good idea.  Thanks for the input, I just found a huge discussion on it and have decided that I am not going to get it because I really only listen to bass enhanced music.
