Default 4 speaker setup

Right now i have 2 GZ yellow baskets in the fairing, 2 MMatts in the lowers. 1 JL XD 400/4 AMP for yellows in the fairing. 1 VAD micro 4 amp for the lowers. Now my other set of GZ yellows showed up yesterday. My question is: should i get a dsp for all of this? I have no knowledge of dsp's. I would have to pay someone or learn myself. I see some members here live around my area.

They do sound good, but i forgot i had a set of GZ yellows on back order 2 months ago. Thought i would try them on the lowers. That is why i was asking about the dsp.

You dont NEED a dsp, unless you're pushing more than about 250 watts to them. But using a DSP will allow you to tailor their sound to better suit your ears instead of just relying on the amps settings.

Thank you for your input but i am new to this so i don't understand the difference. How does a 400 watt amp produce any more power? I have the amps bridged right now. Your saying i can push more power? What DSP do u recommend? I will need someone in my area to help me because i have read & it seems overwhelming to me.
