well I guess if you want simple then go with what Bates said.

 

what Bates said is probably the best advice, other than that, the ARC is good if you are going to be ok with the 6 channel limit, if not i'd go the DD Dsi2 all day.

I'm definitely not anti DSP. Like you say, I agreed with Bates from a simplicity standpoint. Now if the addiction bug bites it's a new ballgame.

Thanks for all the input guys. Just might sell my amp and go with another one for sure

 

OP one advantage to the ARC PSM is it can be used without line levelers from what I have heard. I will also add that it is so easy to use I wouldn't say it is too complicated for beginners. If in the old days you ever used a cheap EQ in a car audio system you know almost enough already to get started with it.

I didn't want a DSP either when I was setting up my system, but I kept finding frequency ranges that drove me nuts at high volumes. I just couldn't find any other way to tone down those frequencies without a DSP. The ARC is so simple to use I'm glad I got it.

Here's a link that my help you decide if it is a good choice for you:
Arc Audio PSM

When I installed it into my bike I just got a USB cable with a right angle micro connector on one end and an A type end on the other. I plugged the right angle micro end into the PSM and secured it with silicone and wire ties so it wouldn't move. The other end I just ran a little ways down the steering neck and covered the plug with a weather proof cap. This makes it easy to tune whenever I want to.

I figure you've already got a good amp. With the money you save from buying another tunable amp and one or two sets of line levelers you are already part way to the cost of a PSM.

Just my .02.

The arc is a nice piece of equipment. It does have some input harness issues along with trying to keep the USB cable mounted to it as well.
But if you start to run more speaker this DSP is not the correct choice for you. Look at the Dayton if you start getting into 8+ speakers.
The dayton is pretty much the same as the smaller GZ DSP. I run the DD and really like it. Stay away from the DSR-1.

I run the GZ DSP 4-8x. It does look like the Dayton DSP.
