In this paper, a hybrid system with a multi-channel equalization and crosstalk cancellation filters in automotive audio systems is presented. Based on the impulse response measured at multiple points in the automotive, the hybrid audio system with is designed, which is respectively used to improve the timbral quality and spatial quality of the automotive audio system. In this hybrid audio system, a frequency-domain deconvolution method is used to design the multi-channel inverse filter. And a typical frequency response of a high-quality automotive audio system is selected as the target frequency response. The designed filter is implemented in an actual automotive audio system by DSP hardware. The effectiveness of the DSP system is analyzed through a series of objective metrics. The improvement in sound quality was also verified in subjective listening.", }
