DEBRA / SWARM DSP?

I’ve been trying to learn about room treatment and Room EQ Wizard (REW). In my research so far, It seems DSP is not a great idea for the main speakers in 2ch system, but it might be a good idea to use DSP for subs. In my DEBRA sub-array, it’s a little different in that I have 2qty SA1000 Dayton amps instead of the standard 1qty SA1000amp for all 4 speakers. I have 1 amp for the left front/rear subs and the other amp for the right front/rear subs. Will this work with the mini DSP? The mini DSP has 2 inputs and 4 outputs. I don’t see how to run the software/ correction/alignment with 2 subs being run off of 1 amp per side. 

BTW, I'm running the speaker level out from my tube amp through 1k and 10k transistors and terminated into 1 rca per side which go into the 2  SA1000 amps...1 input per side 

Any knowledge you may be able to impart would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same 2 amps with 4 subs just like that. Plus one more because, millercarbon. You already have a lot of EQ built into your Daytons. If you really want to double down with DSP the simplest is to connect the DSP to each amp. The DSP is equalizing bass response. It doesn't know which or where or how many speakers. It only knows frequency and volume. You could hook all 4 subs to one amp and use it. Same result each time because, same DSP. 

The LOC you built with your 2 resistors is identical to mine. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367

I just received the following PM from kenjit, quoted below in its entirety and unedited.  

hi

would you like me to come and assess your speakers? free of charge. They will need to be equalized to your ears. I bet you I will be able to find many things wrong with your speakers! who is Deborah?

You are welcome any time. Consider it a standing offer. You and anyone else. In Redmond, WA just two miles east of beautiful Lake Washington, about a half hour north of SEA, which is where you would land. For out of towner's we have a spare room all set up and you are welcome to spend the night. Just PM to make arrangements.  

Your timing is good. Main weakness now is acoustics. Planning on consulting with our local expert, Mike Lavigne. But first-hand impressions and experience, you can never get enough. 

It will be a long trip, but if you come late spring or summer we are real close to some absolutely stunning scenery. Heck, Mike is up so near the pass his back yard will impress anyone not born in Yosemite. That's what the Portland group did last time, pulled a train from my place to his. 

Any time. Let me know.
