havent pick out a dsp yet, that is what i need to know, i have no clue which one would accommodate this system the best, it was recommended to use dsi-2 or rockford both 8 chnl
so far its mostly prv, 450 tweeters frt and rear, 500s in lowers 500s in upper, 6x9 in lids for now, probably will end up 6.5 sealed back in lids, and 10s in bags its currently using 10 channels.

Having a completely stereo sound is nice but there comes a point where you have to compromise to save space. Running the highs (horns/tweeter) in stereo and everything else in mono (summed signal) is the easiest way to gain dsp and amp channels.
Another thing to consider is replacing the 6x9 and rear horns with a comp driver. If those 10s are pumping like they should be they will blow the cones out of those 6x9 anyways, unless you separate them.
Whatever dsp you choose needs to have 8 full range channels with individual xover controls. I have the twk88 and really like the features of the remote. Others have used the DD and GZ with good results. All depends what your needs are.

yes I will for sure be replacing the 6x9s, they are temporary just to fill the holes, i will be using sealed baskets or comp drivers but I would like to hear some in use first, so I can make a decision, this lockdown sucks i was planning on hitting all the events this spring just to get some input/knowledge from you guys.
to date the only builds i have seen/ heard have been on brady street for the 115th.....(after that one event I was hooked!!!) or this forum... and some car audio stuff i did in the early 90s not the same by any means though.
