Summary:
Once I connected the dph to my DXZ715, it made a dramatic step-up of sound quality, very low floor noise, and the elimination of my good loop, a problem that I had since I''ve had install my first sound system many moons ago. Anyway,It has taken awhile to complete and understand the setting option both in pro and standard modes. Clarion customer service is at the bottom of my list. They encourage you to go to a dealer to get help, which in turn, you have to pay the deal to tune it for you. The menu setting that are offer is OK. It is not straight forward in selection or is the manual clear to help the user to achieve his/her goals. Therefore, making it difficult to operate. After a month of fussing, it sounds great. I like my unit, but I''m very upset with Clarion professional of not taking care of a valued customer needs. *My rating is based on the unit, not the customer service issues.*

Strengths:
Clarity, very low floor noise, small packaging, unit does not over heat, solid RCA connections.

Weaknesses:
poor customer service, poor manual explaination.

Summary:
I have it hooked up to a Clarion ProAudio DRX7675z (head unit). I thought that having a DSP was a wise choice, but in my case it was not. Like the EQ and how you can control it. I strongly believe that it would be an awsome idea "IF" you plan to have a multi-media system in your "ride." Don't get me wrong, I love it, but as for me, I usually leave it on one setting and off I go. So my recommendation of this product is for those who are planning to get a multi-media system, get it, if not your just wasting money.

Might I just add: Yeah it's great at first, but once you get it to be the way you want it, the rest of the features are "useless." (excluding future multi-media planners). Take it from me, if you are not planning to get a multi-media system don't get it. If you do change your mind, you can up-grade it.

Summary:
Great features, all controlled from up front. Awesome quality and value. Highly recommended combination.

Strengths:
Awesome features. Great to tinker with. I hooked it up to my 8675z and had to take some serious time learn how to use it right. But about an hour later, your really gonna enjoy it. You can totally customize the sound to your cars interior right from your headunit. So much stuff to play with, I love it. Found it on E-bay brand new for about half price. Look for "anmkt" on there....he says they stock alot them, so if your interested.....

Weaknesses:
Like I said, will take a little time to familiarize yourself with it.
