You might have one hell of a time finding a 6 channel a/b with DSP that will fit under a front seat, most of us with limited space run a 4+2 or 2+2+2 for our 3 way fronts, morel are some of my favorite budget amps for SQ along with arc and zapco, I'd hate to run low s/n amps with hat drivers in active.

The Arc Audio amp I was looking at is a class D. Its the X2 1200.6 model

That arc is a ton of power.  You dont need that much power.  Id youre worried about getting enough power for the midbass.  Get some stevens audio mb6 or mb8 in 2ohm.  

I understand its overkill, if i decided to go that route, gain would be turned down for sure. I liked it the Arc X2 because it had a ton of crossover options, LP, HP, AP, and its on 13 inches long . Which fits under the seat .I would pair this with a DSP and gain the ability to use time alignment. I really only need a few settings, I would like a driver side setting, passenger side setting, and maybe an all FLAT setting.

Gain doesnt affect power.  But make sure you protect the tweeter

For sure, the tweeters have an inline cap installed to prevent any accidents. Just checked out the Stevens Audio mb6's, man those look fantastic! I would love to hear some of them. I going to see if anyone in my area is a dealer.

You can order them from stevens audio.  They are failry cheap. Efficient and sound great.

The xdi v2 is nice, just keep it away from your antenna/ant cables ect as it can reduce reception and/or introduce FM interference.

not only is it a ton of power for your midrange/tweets its also full power from 2-4 ohms, you would need to be VERY careful with that on your BPF/HPF drivers.

Looks like i still have a ton of research to do. I didn't realize a three way active setup was so detailed.
