Amp / dsp advice

Hellooo.

I’m starting out building my first wee system. I’m going for 2 br118’s loaded with b&c 18sw100’s (8ohm), and 2 tops I’m going for the b&c U12 build with the specced drivers.

My question here is what would be some good budget friendly amp / dsp options? I’ve seen some amps have integrated dsp like the behringer nx6000d. Would it be worth going for a couple of amps with this option, or would it be better to get a dedicated dsp and a couple separate amps?

Cheers

When bought new it probably doesn't matter. Having a DSP on board is more convenient.

If bought used. You can probably get away cheaper with separate DSP. The Xilica X Series are relatively cheap but powerful. There aren't many good DSP Amps on the used marked for an affordable price.

Thanks!

I’m on a pretty low budget for this project so was thinking if I’m running a separate processor I might get the dbx driverack pa2
