assistant: No but if over 30 years experience with Professional Audio will do....
Precisely correct.  It is the function of a "normalled" jack to allow a
specific pre-determined routing for the connections, except when a plug is
inserted into either of the normalled pair of jacks.  At this point, all bets
are off, and the normals are "lifted" to allow each to operate on it's own.
Multipling of jacks is another story... to make a multiple on a professional
jackfield with a hard wired xmas tree block is fairly easy, you just wire the
number of parallel jacks that you want for the multiple.  "Project" studio
jack fields are designed for limited specific purposes and don't have the
flexibility of the "pro" types... they are supplied in the "most needed"
configurations and there isn't much adaptation you can do.
They must have separate switches to allow selectable defeating the "normals"
on each jack pair.
It sounds like the DBX jackfield is the more flexible and thus should be the
one to use with the selectable "normals".  I don't believe that the Tascam
will allow much, or any change, from the way it came out of the box.
... If it isn't broken, take it apart and find out why

assistant: Much obliged.
Amazing.  I got something right! ;-)
I don't know which category the Tascam falls into here.  Guess they do
both, and I wound up with the el cheapo.
It's a rather neat setup, really - the bays are normalled by default.  They
are set up on individual circuit boards, with each attached to the frame by
a plastic nut.  To defeat the normalling, you simply unscrew the nut, slide
out the card, flip it 180 degrees, and reinstall it.  Quite nice.
That's the plan - I just wish I could leave the dbx fully normalled and
defeat the normalling on the Tascam.  Sigh.  Anyway, thanks for the help!
Good advice - I may actually do this. ;-)

assistant: Big deal.  Out of <100 kids in our school in 11th & 12th grade, there's
several who could easily do that.  Theres a big difference between a
semi-decent boomy car system, and a professional car install.  In fact,
more and more professional horns and speakers are used in cars.   While
I've seen many cars with nice systems and lots of bass, I'd like to see
one that can deliver 130dB from 20hz-20khz, +-3dB response.  When your
talking pro audio, those are the kind of specs that seperate the pros
from the amatuers.  It's VERY easy to get big, boomy bass from a car.
Especially if you have >$250 to spend.  I'd like to hear more about his
system though.  Any specs on it?  Like what drivers and what amps? Take

assistant: well, I don't really go too much by specs, I just like what sounds good to me
(not necessarily boomy) but my brother's car is actually in the middle of an
overhaul, currently there are no speakers in it, no amps, no seats, no
arpet,
no ceiling, and the engine and maybe dashboard are about to go..
BUT, once we're done, we should have a fair complement of speakers all
around.. still looking for a good amp though.
so far we have the crossover, subs, tweeters, and the amp for the fronts. and
we're debating scrapping the clarion deck for something better.

assistant: I didn't say "I" had a 10k system, but many true audio die-hards do put
as much time and effort into there home system than a car system.  While
it isn't judged in a competition, you can do a lot of comparing and
contrasting between systems, and determine where yours stands.  Even if
car systems weren't judged, I'm sure a lot of people would put just as
much time and effort into them.
