2015 acura mdx advance 12 speaker system problem

[ssmokeyy]

 Like the title states small problem. Looking for a 12 channel dsp in is crazy high cost.  I would like to upgrade the speakers and amps but is there a 12 channel dsp out under $900? I like the surround sound effect.

Gotta pay to play.
You can upgrade the speakers, that could help increase sound quality provided you buy quality speakers.

I found a dsp idea I'm going with. Running two hertz s8 dsp's .  They have everything i need. Is there better hell yea but gets what i need done for cheap.

I run two NVX 6 ch dsp's they are $150 each I run two 4 ch amps and a two ch and two mono blocks amps for a 12 chs total..
4 ch for tweets a 4 ch for kicks and center ch and a 2 ch for door mids and two sub chs.
Simply replacing speakers as someone mentioned will not get you the surround clarity you are looking for I myself like to hear every last note and detail of the music..
It is like being center stage at a concert, you are on the right path bro keep us posted please...

So I have ordered 

 

2 hertz 8 channel dsp

I have 2 alpine type x 4 channel amps

I have like 8 mono blocks to pick from

Found brand new 

Alpine type x components for the front and rear. Found alpine type s for center and surrounds.  Ordered alpine type r 12's 2 of them. Found a custom mdx wire harness that goes after the factory ampnto get all the signals to the dsp pair. Grom had a great deal for the vline 2 so android auto is now going in.  Its probably going to be a couple months before I do anything else. Im doing a theater upgrade and painting my f150 before I get back on this project.
