I am using a DSI-2 at the present time. To me it is very user friendly,easy to set up and use.
All the adjustments are on 1 screen. You can tune each channel individually ( peq and crossover) or link them together.
It is either PC adjusted or Bluetooth via the accessory Bluetooth adapter which is extra.
The DSI-2 has 8 channels output you can eq or change and 2 channels pass thru.
The only con I have found about it is if you use a stock Rushmore HU you have to manually change to a different preset if you are tuning 2 different presets.1 for off bin and 1 for run.
It does fit in the CB cubby on the Rushmore batwing.

The mini DSP software download is $10 I bet you've spent $10 on dummer things lol.

The software for the miniDSP appears to actually be a browser plugin. Here is a video of it in action:
It seems to me to be a good value for the money. I just feel like from what I am seeing it may be overkill for what I want to do, but there could be worse problems.
I really like the app for the Stetsom unit though. Do y'all think I could just use the parametric EQ as a notch filter for the fairing speakers? I don't speak Spanish but here is a video of the app in use:

Thanks for the feedback. I saw comments in another thread about not being able to tweak voltages like the ARC PSM so I was wondering if that was an issue. Manually changing presets wouldnt bother me as I would leave mine tuned for running 99% of the time anyway. I really want something that has Bluetooth and is small enough for the cubby or clutch side of BT brackets.
When I initially installed mine and check the output voltage of the DSP I was getting 4.5 volts with the Boom 6.5 HU wired in as high level inputs.
Here a a couple pictures of the fitment in the cubby

That DSI-2 looks like a real nice unit. It is just too big for the space I have at the moment, and I really only need four channels at this time. How much do those things cost? I'm not finding much as far as pricing goes on the Internet, they mainly say to contact a dealer. That leaves those of us out in BFE out of luck.
If someone wants to increase the input voltage to a particular amp I have had good luck with the PAC LD-10 line driver. The TM400x4ad I have powering my rear speakers is basically set for speaker level outputs with no switch to select low level. They actually tell you to cut off the RCA plugs and splice in your speaker wires with no other changes, so that tells the tale right there. The LD-10 gave it a fat enough signal to where I didn't have to crank the gains up to where it made the speakers hiss.
I realize that one module isn't a good all in one solution but if you only have a few inputs that need boosting it is cheap, small, and works well.
You cannot change the voltages on the DSI-2

Here is a video of a guy going through all the settings of the miniDSP 2x4. He is a bit of a potty mouth but he really digs in deep with the adjustments.
One thing I was curious about was the EQ adjustments. Each input has it's own parametric EQ with five settings each. Each of the four outputs has their own parametric EQ with five settings each. The thing I wonder is can you get a basic "smiley face" EQ curve with a parametric equalizer or are they basically notch filters so to speak?
