Easily integrate into the factory ELS Audio system in your Acura with our DSP Package designed specifically for your use case. This package is extremely versatile allowing you to install multiple amps or a single amp for your sound system goals. The Powerbass DSP used in this package has 8 inputs and 8 outputs perfect for your Acura’s ELS Audio System. The amplifier used in the ELS system of your Acura is most likely can-bus controlled. This can-bus communication results in the inability to remove the factory amplifier. If you want to make your car sound better or louder you need to integrate into the factory amplifier.
This DSP packages comes wired with the proper harnesses that will allow you to convert the factory amplifiers output signals to a useable RCA signal for your aftermarket amplifiers. The harnesses in this package plug into the factory amplifier and then into the DSP. On the other side of the harnesses there are RCAS outputs that will connect to the input side of your aftermarket amplifier. The last part of the harness is the speaker wire inputs that lead to each speaker in the car they are all labeled and will connect to the output side of your amplifier. The DSP package also has a remote output to turn all of your amplifiers as needed. The turn on signal is delayed and generated by the DSP.
The standard configuration of this package is to leave the center speaker powered by the factory amplifier and capture the output of all the other speakers. The front left door speaker and front left tweeter are summed together to create RCA output 1. The right front door speaker and front right tweeter are summed together to create RCA output 2. The rear door speakers are then set to outputs 3 and 4. The rear deck speakers are set to outputs 5 and 6 and finally the subwoofer is setup as outputs 7 & 8. This configuration is meant for those who want to run multiple amps to power the front doors, rear doors and rear deck speakers and the factory or aftermarket subwoofers.
The second configuration this package offers is to leave the center speaker and the rear door/pillar speakers powered by the factory amplifier and only capture the output of the front speakers/tweeters, the rear deck speakers and the factory subwoofer. This configuration will set RCAs 1 and 2 to the front left and front right outputs, RCA 3 and 4 are the rear deck outputs and outputs 5 & 6 for the subwoofer. This leaves 2 outputs free for any additional purposes. This configuration is usually meant for someone who wants to run a five channel amp to power the entire system.
There are other configurations that are available but these are the main ones. Once your place an order a technician on our team will reach out to you to confirm the configuration for your project. The DSP used in the package is the Powerbass DSP8 it has the ability to sum channels together, remove EQ curves, process time alignment and has a Bluetooth app to make setup easy and simple.
