agree. its not the HU but the crappy stock speakers. iirc, one of the leading car audio shop was impressed sa HU ng Gen3 montero because of the tuning feature like time alignment. my old gen2 ay front separates lang pinapalitan ko + deadening/dampening ng doors and good tuning ng installer, solb na. i don't even have an amp or need a subwoofer as the loudness and bass is more than enough to my listening preference.

Already did.

Mb Quart Reference Series
10" svc sub and 80x4 rms amplifier

Lacks bass parin kahit galawin sa EQ na boosted. Mids & treble - so so..

Tried to swap the headunit with a kenwood one and magically improved without even adjusting the eq.

My set up sa Gen3 ay fit sa SQ requirement ko. Straight pioneer sa speakers, seps, Ampli, active subwoofer, with deadening thru Jeff Tan. No need to change my AVT HU.

Baka hindi lang talaga pasok sa expectation ko yung build ko. Pero may improvement naman kahit paano.

Will buy the cheap Pioneer dsp na worth 10k baka mabigyan ng justice yung AVT HU output.
