I guess I was getting ahead of the context by implying that recoding to HiFi + adding an EQ/DSP processor allows you to "tune" for flat response with the inclusion of aftermarket components, where third-party drivers have different response characteristics.

This is desirable in a situation where the midbass drivers are replaced with SWS-8s while using a _____ component system in the doors. The levels among these channels can be adjusted with gain controls on the amplifier(s) and internal crossovers can help them blend better but tuning the system with an EQ/DSP device would take it a step further.

You know these cars and components better than anyone here, so I defer to you. With upgraded third-party speakers and a recode to HiFi, is a customer missing out on anything significant by driving everything with an amplifier that only offers crossover and gain adjustments?
