I'm looking to improve my sound system without changing the head unit. Believe it or not, I don't want to get rid of the Skipper 500. I like how it looks compared with aftermarket units (most aftermarket units try to look racey but end up looking ricey to me) and since I don't have an iPod, I'm addicted to the in-dash 6-CD MP3 changer. I dealt with standard CD players and single-disc mp3 changes when I was doing business travel, and it was torture.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience with sound processors? I was looking at these:

I'm trying to spend as little money on this as possible so I can save the rest of my tax return for suspension mods and making the other beautiful noise that eminates from the car sound better, but that's another story.

They all do approximately the same thing. You can also add the JBL MS80 and the Audiocontrol LC's (slightly different, depends on what you need to do). All these work by taking all equalization out of the factory outputs, and allowing a pure, clean signal to go to aftermarket amps. If you want to simply gain control over the factory system- good luck. I'm not sure how you'd pull that one.
