I did consider going the DSP route with the JL Audio Fix-86, but it's quite a bit more expensive, so I elected to go with the cheaper option of the LC7i. The advantage to this approach is that if either of my amps give up the ghost, I can replace them a lot more easily now.
I have a minidsp with Dirac in the house but stock stereo in the car. I've seen how massively the stock EQ effects sound in the car. If I were you, I'd get a line-level EQ.
