Can the outputs from your harness go into an equalizer and work ? And of course the inputs into the amplifier

The 8 channel jbl dsp is pretty cheap I seen it for around 250-300 . Would you recommend it?

I have a 2017 ilx base. Ijust want my sound back. How do you know if the amp has just failed? If it has can i swap it out with an identical without costing 200 million $$ or is acura going to jack me on this to ?

I have a 2006 Acura Tsx and I was considering upgrading to the MBQuart plug and play amplifier. I was curious how the bridge works between the front tweeters and the front door speakers? Should I get tweeters rated at a similar power rating to the door speakers so they aren’t over-powered? I’ll be installing the skar audio tx series 6.5 inch in the doors which are 50 watts rms 100 watts max? I’m just not for sure if the amplifier or the car has built in crossovers that reduce the power to the tweets. Full plan is to install skar tx series 6x9s in the rear deck, skar tx 6.5 in all doors, and some form of skar tweets with a frequency eliminator for each tweeter to protect them. Thanks for the help it is much appreciated 🙏
