Zapco 150.6 and yes use a dsp

I hear that's a beast of an amp, but she is on the large side 22.5 inches if my memory serves me. I would like to keep the amp location the same, which for my truck is under the seat. Not a lot of room under there.

That’s interesting. I’ve heard quite a few people disliking their 360s. What made you not like yours? 

First off, RF never really fully supported it, in my opinion. I think there was one maybe two firmware updates in like 6 years. Second there was a known issue with the remote, it would loose connectivity. I would have restart my truck to get it back.  I was told by RF Support it to ground it at least three times?

Bitone is glitchy 

 

Zapco or better yet helix

I've heard the same about Bitone. Also hear Great things about the Helix, Arc Audio and Zapco units

Funny thing is at first i dismissed the TWK 88 from JL, but for the price and what I need it to do, i might have to take a second look. Plus I love NOT having to purchase another 300 remote just to be able to control the damn thing. The new remote JL just released is so slick in my opinion.

I feel you would be better off with a 4 channel and a 2 channel. Double the power supply power and a little more ... well, more for The midbass drivers.

personally, I would do with what I did with my ride ... multiple 2 channels. Way more competitive benefits ... Just Saying

You could even find a helix mk2. Its a 6ch amp amd dsp in one. Its about 1300 bucks. But its all in 1

True, I guess that's the next evolution in amplifiers? JL, Helix, Arc Audio Audio-control all have some

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.
