How can I install 2 amps with my stock radio?

Hi All: I have been out of car audio for some time now, and have no idea how these new products work.

I recently got my daughter a 2015 Acura RDX with the ELS system. The subwoofer and tweeters are blown. Door speakers are fine.

I want to replace the mids and tweeters with an old pair of image dynamics components I have laying around and 2 ID subs.

What can I use to get a good signal to the amplifiers? I don't want to go with a full fledged DSP(unless a good budget option exists), but I don't want to use a cheapy LOC either. What are my options?

What I have now is

Image Dynamics CXS components
2 Image Dynamics ID 10 subwoofers
JBL GTO601.1 & JBL GTO75.4
 
Believe it or not, this little cheapo from kicker takes up to 55 watt input and is clean as whistle. It has the added bonus of using the speaker lead voltage to create the turn on so you don't have to run one from the deck to the LOC, 2 channel

4 channel


DSP option

 
The kicker and NVX will only give me a signal the amps. I need something that'll fix the eq to give me a flat full range signal.

The Dayton can work, but the software is buggy.
 
Budget DSP is like looking for unicorns. I did a LOT of digging to find a real cheap one to use for a home office setup, and they just don't seem to exist.

Ended up going with a cheap Wondom board/s setup, but it requires a lot of tinkering and experimenting just to make it work.

What do you consider a "budget" DSP?
