Yes, I would. I am seeing that the Rockford DSR-1 has 8 channels. how does that play into connecting them to two amps is my question. I may be way above my head with working with both of them. Thanks,

From the DSP to the amp/s u will have 8 channels that will feed 8 amp channels with 8 RCAs. I have the ARC PSM so I have 6 RCAs that feed 6 amp input channels. It's a very simple plug in of RCAs from DSP to Amp.

Being very simplistic, a DSP gets it input from the HU typically as 2 or 4 channel input.

Eric, keep in mind that the more "stuff" you have in the loop, the more chance of something going wrong. You have an eq on the head unit and hpf on both amps. If you have all speakers on their own channels you have the ability to tune them with the eq, gains and hpf already. With a dsp, you will have the ability to band pass each channel for the speakers but at 70 you wont be able to hear the difference. I'm not against a dsp and never ran one but from my experience, at speed all that bandpass tuning doesn't mean squat. Besides, if you start tuning for a couple of hours and think you have it just the way you want it, the next time you hear it, it just doesn't sound right so you start tweaking again and the process never ends and that would (does) drive me nuts. Rule of thumb: the less in line, the less to mess up.
