Will I need a signal processor with an Alpine MRV-V500 in my 2013 Chevy Volt?

[QUOTE="killeraxemannic, post: 8642087, member: 640200"] Hi guys, I have a 2013 Chevy Volt with the factory Bose system. As you could have guessed it's not very good. I have tracked down all of the wiring harness adapters for all 3 factory plugs that go to the Bose amp so I don't have to cut anything. The head unit feeds 4 line level full range outputs to the Bose amp which splits it into 7 speaker level outputs F L+R Tweeters, F L+R Speakers, R L+R speakers, Sub. I plan on eliminating the Bose amp completely and running the 4 line level outputs from the factory radio to the Alpine MRV-V500 and using the 1+2+3+4 switch on the amp to get the sub output. I have already installed Tymphany NE19VTS-04 Tweeters in the front pillars and plan on using Silver Flute W17RC38-04 6.5" Woofers in all 4 doors. Still have to figure out a crossover for the tweeters as well because all they currently have is a single cap that cuts them at about 3k. I also plan on building a custom sealed subwoofer enclosure for an 8 inch subwoofer that will fit in the factory subwoofer location. My question is since my current head unit outputs 4 full range line level channels to the amp is there any reason to get a signal processor of some sort? It seems like lots of signal processors are taking speaker level inputs and converting them to line level which wouldn't work in this application. If I do need one I am not really sure what I should get. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
