I really like this thing!
For a processor that is all externally controlled and does not require a computer for programming, this thing does it all!
Channel summing (for crossed over factory radios), pre-fader gain control (for factory fade correction), Auto-On feature that, in most cases, does not require an external remote turn-on source, very quiet sound output, inaudible unit power up, easy jumper settings and, unlike the LCQ-1 (which I owned before this unit), there is the addition of the 40hz sub eq sectioin..
Time correction and Accu-Bass, though very easy to dial in and a fantastic feature, is just the cherry ontop!
I have installed this in my 2012 Ford Focus SE, Non-Sony application, and have had ZERO issues. I now have bass clear down to 20hz (between the Accu-Bass and a low tuned sub box).
No complaints, five stars all around! Only things I won't vote 5 stars is Durability (I haven't had it long enough) and design (its not a great design but it is very functional)...
But, because of the success of this install, I now have 5 other install orders lined up!
I would suggest the addition of a 25hz bass knob on the sub EQ section, and on the channel 1 & 2 section, it would be great to have 6khz and somewhere between 12-15khz Hi resolution knobs to really control your ugly factory HU's. That's no complaint, just a suggestion...

Just what I needed!
I just bought a 2016 Ford Transit with the $2000.00 iSync sound system. I love the features that came with it but the sound was pure CRAP! the DQ-61 allowed me to keep my integrated system and change out the amp and speakers. The EQ on the DQ-61 was way better than i thought it would be and the Accu-Bass circuit works great. The remote sub control works better than the one that came with my amp.I can't say enough about this thing!
