There's a loud pop when you turn it on, because it can't tell the amps to turn on and off in a timely fashion. The staging is a fader with crossover, so I just leave it centered. The surround sound feature is muddy unless you have a powerful front stage. Be sure to leave the bass knobs DOWN. just muddies quality. Go for audio control. I will probably end up swapping them down the line to be honest.

Installed the Kicker Front Row a couple of days ago. Very easy to install. Also, seems to really clean up the incoming signal from the head unit. Has separate input gain and out put control. Definitely boosts the signal. I have some very high power amps, and all the gains have to be turned way down. Less gain = less noise(: I've found that activating the surround feature is only beneficial when watching movies. For music, it eliminates the vocal and boosts some background ambient sounds. Not bad, but I prefer the surround off for music. Separation is incredible. I am hearing crisper, distinct note differences and nuances in my music that I've never heard before. Brings compressed music to life. Not to sure yet about the Shockwave feature. Haven't really noticed much difference when I adjust it. The Kick Eq does make a difference with the bass output. The Wide sound feature is nice and allows proper sound staging. Very useful. Overall, I am very pleased. I will say this though, there is a bit of a pop now whenever I shut everything down. I would think a soft turn off feature would be standard with something of this quality. Excellent product!!Read full review

I normally wouldn’t think of kicker being about SQ, but this DSP is great! Makes setting up multiple amps a breeze. The bass restoration feature is perfect for factory head unit setups, and splits the signal to make it super easy to divide the signal and with the input clip light there’s no guessing as to when you’ve found the “sweet spot”!!

Still dialing it in. Having just replaced my sub amp, subwoofers and front door speakers all in the last three months I'm changing settings daily. The subsonic filter made a world of difference and by itself gets 5 stars. I mostly listen to the older, most classic music, Lil Jon, Led Zepplin, Jeezy, Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac. So I may never get things just right, but I am hearing the difference.
