Default Help picking processor

Just like the title states I need help with a processor. 2015 lariat with Sony.
Equipment is
infinity 6x9 9602ix (front)
Infinity 6.5(back)
Jbl gxa604- 4 channel amp(for doors)
Pioneer GM-8601 amp (for subs)
2 10" kicker comp rt wired at 2ohm

Crutchfield is recommending the kicker front row as a processor but I don't know if I can get something better for about the same price.

Side note:
I have an epicenter for my subs that I want to use. I would use it if it is permitted, if not then I'll take it out.

Thanks!

I went with the Audison Bit Ten, in a 2014 F-150 Screw FX4 with the Sony and Nav. It's going in Monday next week, I'll let you know how it goes then.

Using Helix DSP in my truck. Zero issues with it. For the price of kicker processor you can get MiniDSP C-DSP 6x8 it has great reviews and is highly recommended across audio forums.

Audison Bit Ten is awesome and I've had it in my personal cars. I've recently swapped it out with the JL Audio FiX-82 and can say that it's not only cheaper but better than the Audison. The install was easier as well as the auto setup for certain, which was important to me. Let me know if you want pricing as these just hit the market this week and there is a backorder that is getting filled now. More should be available within a week or two. That used in conjunction with the TwK is the perfect combo. Just my 2 cents.

I am considering adding Fix-82 to my setup. Highlevel->Fix82->Optical Out ->Helix DSP. Please let me know what you think about this.
Aim is to add de-equalization and compensate for factory time alignment.

I'm using the Fix-82 along with a JL amp, speakers, and sub in my 2016 non-Sony system and it has been great. Super easy to calibrate to get rid of factory "enhancements".

Are you able to use steering volume control with Fix-82?

Wow surprised you got your FiX-82 already Kraken. I just recently got mine since they are on backorder. That's awesome you like it. By any chance did you also order the TwK yet?

I have not got it yet. I am seriously considering it.
