Budgeted yung set-up ko. Cost around 30K lang.
Btw, I'm into SQ and minsan me konting bass kapag nakikinig ng mga pop music like Maroon 5 or One Direction.
Mahina lang din naman ako mag sounds and usually nasa 10 lang ang volume ko.

Nasabi sa akin nung installer yung limitation ng AVT HU and nakita ko naman na napaka-konti ng sound adjustments nya.
Ang ayaw ko lang sa set-up ko ngayon is nanginginig yung car kapag pumapalo yung bass, kahit -1 na yung setting nya sa HU.
Saka parang me kulang na hindi ko malaman. Ang gusto ko sana is parang nakikinig kalang ng mga opera or theater music. Meron akong Boss Noise cancelling Headset and yun yung gusto ko sana maging output sa kotse ko. Meron bass pero hindi nanginginig and buong-buo ang tunog nya.
Nag aabang nga po ako ng car show para makapag audition ng mga me sound set up na para magka idea kung ano pa ang kailangan gawin sa set up ko.

For the meantime, please advise kung papalitan ko yung HU ko ng Pioneer or I will just retain it and attach a processor or equalizer.
A processor is not cheap. A 2-way processor will set you back 16,000php and in order to take advantage of its capabilities, you'll need more channels so that means another amplifier (you need one more channel for the subwoofer) and this will cost you anywhere from 5,000php upwards depending on budget. Once you have the gears, yun mahirap dyan is the tuning.

I wouldn't bet on car shows for auditions really. Most car shows are LnC (Loud and Clear) by nature - you want flashy speakers, amplifiers, televisions, woodworks, etc. being displayed. If you want to wait, your best bet will be EMMA Philippines' final leg which should be in Metro Manila sometime near the end of the year. If not, your second best bet is to ask somebody who actually has a SQ setup and ask for an audition. If you can drop by Banawe, QC feel free to message me.

For your advice, that's... a hard question. If you disregard the effort needed to tune, the processor route is better. The Pioneer route is good as an insta-fix tho.. you see, a lot of people with stock HUs like that Monty's AVT will eventually upgrade to Pioneer's 2DINs once they have a processor (nalalaman mo rin kasi yun limits).
