Question an appropriate amp/recommendation

[jeffjohnson4029]

Novice here. I decided to finally take the plunge and upgrade the audio in my baby - low mileage mint 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible. I’ve been piecing it together and just need to decide on an amp. I’ve got a great installer that I would consult, but he’s on vacation til January 4, and I’m itching to order an amp and schedule install when he returns. Here’s what I got so far - alpine 9 inch halo head unit with rear view cam, Hertz Mille Pro 163.3 3 way components, and one Hertz Mille Pro 10 inch shallow mount 4 ohm sub. This is all the speakers that small car and this 52 year olds ears will need. I’ve looked at Hertz, Mille, Audio Control and Helix amps, but overwhelming for a novice to pick out the perfect amp. Enough power, but not too much. My only request is that is has DSP to fine tune and must have a bass control knob up front. Cost is not important to me, as I want quality to match everything else. Do it once and do it right. Thanks in advance!

3-way active or passive?

Active preferably.

Mosconi, Audison, Zapco and Helix all make convenient amps with built-in dsp.

What I'd do personally for a cost no object active system in a two seater like yours would be a Soundigital GAN 2000.8 with a Zapco HDSP-Z16 V AD-8GA dsp/dac. The Stereo Integrity BM-11 would be my choice for shallow sub but unfortunately it's no longer on sale at the moment.
