    2 the system produces more than enough vocals and I think it is missing some mid bass.
    How would you set your eq to at least partially help fix this problem?
    My sub is responsive up to 240hz.

    It isn't just one "fix" it is the blend between all of the frequencies that makes everything seem like it is just the right amount.

    Google Audiofrog tuning guide, read it, get a measurement microphone (dayton, minidsp, audiofrog, etc), and get to tuning the system as a whole.

    This is my personal EQ curve that I like

    That looks like a sh*t show!
    Lol jk

    The only thing I have right now is the eq on my Amazon app and the settings on my LC-6.1200.
    Still trying to decide if a dsp is worth it or not. I've already gone way beyond my initial budget thanks up having to go to multiple shops.

    Midbass punch is mostly between 80 Hz and 180 Hz, while dedicated midbass speakers usually play 80-300 Hz and sometimes a bit higher. Your EQ in that picture seems to skip the important part. Use a different EQ that covers the important stuff.

    Re: Mid bass eq settings

    Is the car equipped with a Bose system? How are you integrating into the OEM headunit?

    As a 6th Gen Camaro owner I can tell you that the car has deep cancellations in the 110Hz area even with the doors deadened and sealed as well as a very deep cancellation at 67Hz on the driver side MB.
    The passenger side MB has a deep dip around 450Hz as well (probably from the console)
    You really need to measure the individual response of the drivers and you need at least 10 bands of eq per MB driver to overcome some of these issues...If this is a 2-way with tweeters in the dash then the tweeters probably don't require a ton of eq, but they will need to be attenuated.

    Re: Mid bass eq settings

    Here are my measurements with only crossovers and no EQ at all. (Audiofrog GB60, GB25 and SEAS Tweeter with a JL 12W6V3 sub in a stealth enclosure)
    The tweeters are in pods on the a-pillar and are cut 8db for driver side and 5db for passenger side

    Acoustic XO targets are 80-300-2600 LR4 that will be tuned to a JBL curve modified with a bit of extra bass.

    Electrical Crossovers (set in the dsp):

    Sub 70Hz LR2 LP
    Driver MB 70Hz LR4 HP and 300Hz LR4 LP
    Pass MB 70Hz LR4 HP and 350Hz LR4 LP
    Driver MR 300Hz LR4 HP and 2600Hz LR4 LP
    Pass MR 350Hz LR4 HP and 2600Hz LR4 LP
    Tweeters 2600Hz LR4 HP

    Looks good overall. Need to bump down that midbass a little (or bump up everything else). I would also see if you raise your sub level and bump down that wide q peak to get down to 20hz response how that would sound. Or just bump up below ~25hz and level those peaks with that bump.

    Absolutely! I still have tons of work to do, those were just crossovers with NO EQ at all. Here is the front stage after one EQ session

    I posted these so the OP can see the response issues in the Camaro.

    I did have the Bose, the LC-6.1200 is how I integrated to the factor head unit.

    Passenger panels, I'm switching to the timpano's this weekend

    TIMPANO TPT-MB6 Slim
    REF-9632IX 6x9 (rear deck)

    The rear deck has dynamat.
    I'm putting foam speaker rings on the front components and passenger panels this weekend.
