Sure! it was really a quest on our side of the pool to find some proper solution.
So far, many US truck fans in Europe sticking to Helix V Twelve DSP mk2 as golden standard for sound upgrade: pure 12 channels etc.
Price +- equal 1500Eur for device.
Even with standard acoustics "B&O Ford" this device give an edge.
Can recommend with open heart:)

yes but this is not plug and play with fords b and o .the mo bridge is

little sketchy on the power output.


Says peak power draws 100 amps. Ohms law says 100 amps x 13 volts = 1,300 watts of power. Anything more then that and you pop the fuze.

normally rms would draw 50% of max or there about. 50 amps x 13 volts = 650 watts rms power

not saying this is not an upgrade of the stock systems.....but do not believe the power specs they are claiming at all. ohm's law is fact and this can't draw more then 1,300 watts of power without blowing a fuse. the claimed 2200 watts of peak power is just a lie. the claimed rms power of 1200 watts is really what the peak rating is. and at least an amp or 2 would be required for the dip and a2b converter.

I have been in and around audio, with home and car for almost 40 years. There is no "law" or requirement on how specs are reported. but math is math.

Not to mention for the money you could have a much better system all around.

Yeah I'm there myself....I just picked up my newest enclosure yesterday for a single Sundown Audio 15" Zv6. LOC aside you could get some JP amps, subs, mids, enclosure for about that. Zen is still up there a bit....mine hurt a bit when I bought it, lol.
