DSP for 2 speaker setup?
With the limited tuning available in a factory HU, there would definitely be benefits to the DSP on even a 2 speaker system. If it was an aftermarket HU with a built in EQ, and a 2 speaker system you could get by not bad with out the DSP

You can always benefit from having a DSP. Once you learn it, youll get the most out of whatever setup you go with.
Others on here have more experience with the GZs, but I think they can be crossed over pretty low maybe 50hz I think not sure. If you do use a DSP depending on how low you cross them over, theyll need power. In other words, the lower you go the more power theyll need. 400 watts crossed at 50hz wont be as loud as crossed at say 100-125hz, but thats the trade off for more bottom end. Either way I would think theyd be loud enough for you.

What do you figure a guy can give them at 75 hz,,?

Understood. After installing sx690's in the lids, I have them crossed at 70hz 250 watts. MMats 601cx in fairing crossed at 100hz 200 watts, it seems like I have to lower individual output on DSP on the MMats to balance with the lids. I was thinking the lids may need more being crossed over lower, although I know the MMats get loud easy. Just curious.
Sounds good. I'll be looking forward to trying those GZ coax.
