Any thoughts on DSPs? are they worth the $?

Hey guys,
As some of you know (or might remember), I got a kenwood radio, (Here's the review ). and I'm not too pleased with it. Considering this car is not my daily driver I think I can live up with the kenwood's faults in terms of usability. But one thing I absolutely HATE about the radio is the EQ, only 3 band. Not too far from the stock radio EQ we get around these parts.

I listen to classical music, 80-90's music. I'm not a death metal enthusiast or a bass junkie. But I do like a good bass kick.

So I've been thinking on getting an amp, and a few speakers for the car.

Amp: is currently undecided, but a 5 channel one.

My speaker choices are:
Front: Kappa Perfect 6.1 Link to inifity website or the Kappa 60.9cs Link to website
Back: JBL GTO428 Link to JBL Site or the JBL GTO328 Link to JBL Site (not sure which size fits in the back)
Subwoofer: JL Audio CS110TG-TW3 Crutchfield website link

Some people have suggested I go for 3 way components up front and forget about the sub at the back. This is also something I'm taking in consideration.

The audio store guys were telling me to get a sound processor like the JBL MS-8 JBL Site, or a JBL MS-A1004 Link to JBL site or get a product from the Audiocontrol Brand.

The thing is, I don't see many people putting DSPs on their cars, but reviews on those items make them seem like they really do improve the experience.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
