des no right or wrong way to listen to music... if hotter brightness makes you happy... jus do it

now every time you listen you would be reminded not bright enough... hahaha

Yes that's true. 😅 Anyway the sound is now balanced. I guess I was curious if a brighter or more extended treble will sound even better but can understand excessive brightness will kill the sound. I could have asked Pete to try bumping it up and then tone it down again if it sounds worse, but I trusted his views. Too bad I don't have the software to adjust the EQ myself. Haha, plenty of time for me to tweak and adjust the EQ if I have the software.

Anyway, I believe there isn't any need to carry out any further tweaks as it's sounding optimal at the moment, to my preference. Any adjustment to the treble can be done via the HU settings, and if I want brighter I can bump it up on the HU treble settings. Ditto the bass where there is another separate adjustment with the subwoofer other than the HU. Pete explained that bass controls on the HU and subwoofer can be further fine-tuned to my liking since the HU focus on the mid bass, 80 Hz and above if I'm not mistaken while the subwoofer covers the low bass frequencies 40Hz to 80Hz. The range could be slightly different as I have forgotten precisely on what Pete told me but it's about there.

The other aspect I wanted is to have the decay of notes to be longer and the soundstage to be wider and more 3-dimensional. To achieve the 3-d effect, Pete increased the volume from the rear speakers while maintaining the volume of the front speakers. It appears that control on the decay of notes can't be adjusted with the software or equalizer.

do you mind to share how much is the lower range package?

If I'm not mistaken the most basic package is RM2k+. With my setup the DSP/amp is most expensive followed by speakers then subwoofer.

You can go to the shop to inquire on the prices of various options and also listen to the test cars. No obligation as they are a friendly bunch. You may find the sound system of the test cars to be good but it doesn't sound impressive to me.
