I am far from experienced in this whole arena but I have learned a few things along the way. What works for some systems just doesn't play well with others. Going to BRF, I thought my setup sounded pretty good. After playing with the tune while there, everything fell way off the mark.
What basic tune worked well for a couple others, was horrible on mine. So much so, I thought I had equipment failure. When I got back home, I put the tune on it that I had prior and it went back to sounding good. To look at the plotter and graph, you'd think mine should sound horrible, but doesn't.
After much thought and a couple conversations, I came to the conclusion that the Booms eq curve is what makes that drastically different. Mine is the 0amp/4sp flash. The tune I tried in WI was from guys that had 2amp/8sp flash. The large difference you see in my plotter/graph is what I'm assuming is having to correct/compensate for that swing.
I may flash mine this winter and see where I land. The downside is, I'll have to wait for a good day to hear it while riding.

Open a new DSP tune file, zero it all out and u will know what ur HU base line is.
Maybe ur base line is far different than what u think it is.

I will get a couple of pictures of my findings if they are worth while and share with the group.

I will be swapping DSPs this week and planned on getting out a couple of pieces from my tuning arsenal to see where my stock HU is throwing out as for what frequencies are boosted and flattened as per HDs 4 speaker 0 amp and my speakers fall together.

Oh hell, what's the challenge in that? Lol
I still like my stock head unit for waterproof and integration. I've considered it, just not for very long.
