I don't feel that it is to much to expect the software to at least do the basics of a $300 head unit. I think that the reason it hasn't come about yet is because a majority of the people on this site are more skilled with computers rather then high end car audio installs. The hardware has not been much of a limitation for a long time, IMO.

"What are you referring to here? Are you saying that winamp is behind in terms of SQ? Are you saying that the front ends are causing you SQ issues? How does the software have to do with SQ?"

I do feel winamp is a bit behind when it comes to doing a serious IASCA level SQ install. If there is a way to be doing all this please let me know, it is possible that in my search for a front end I have managed to miss this software. RedGTI please point me in the right direction so I can research this more.

I did a little searching and see that winamp now has a VST wrapper and that could in theory work for doing a fully active front stage. I guess I just might have to try it. I wonder if working with win amp this way will allow me to design a fully active 5.1 surround setup that can be used for SQ comps as well. I also see that utilizing bruteFIR in a car has yet to be implemented by anyone here or if it has been it hasn't been documented. I may have to start another thread on this because it seems that this discussion is more of a tangent to the original.
