Hey all.... I need some experienced help.
I'm a sound quality (SQ) car audio competitor. I'm currently building turning my truck into a competition plus a product demonstrator, or "Demo", vehicle.
On top of playing 2 channel stereo for normal judging where I have a 3-way front stage (mid-bass, mid-range, and tweeter) I'll also be adding center and rear channels. There's the possibility of adding side channels as well. This will be done for DVD and Blu-ray videos encoded with surround to be viewed and played. There will be two small (9inch 16:9) TFT screens where the sun visors are as well as a larger 16:9 TFT screen that will fold down from the ceiling's center. I'm installing an Intel NUC PC (converted for 12 volt use) which has both optical and HDMI outputs. This will be one of my source units and used for demos. It, and my other sources (phones and android headunit) will them connect to my DSP/Amplifier combo. It will act as a source selector as well as handling EQ and time alignment functions. It has 12 channels of amplified speaker outputs which are rated at 80 watts each at 4ohms (120w @2ohms) along with 2 sets of RCA outs for additional amplifiers. They will be used for the subwoofer amps. There will be 2, 12in subs with a 1kw monoblock each.
A lot of OEM audio systems are surround upmix capable. BMW has Logic7....Acura had the ELS system.... and several more are out there. There have been several aftermarket processors have their own versions of upmixers but nothing solid. I know there has to be software out there that can feed the surround signal to a soundcard with the necessary line outs that can be fed to my processors 16 inputs.
I just have clue to which to use so I'm humbly coming to all of you. I simply need it to do this on the fly as in plug a USB drive in and go.... lol.
I'm currently disabled from having 5 spine surgeries since 2016 after finding 3 tumors in my lower back. Music as well as car audio have kept me sane and honestly, probably kept alive. It's very important to me since I'm sponsored (JBL, Musway USA, Raptorliner, Ford Performance to name a few) and do not want to disappoint them.
Ask any questions you need and I look forward to everyone's suggestions and comments!
