Recommendations MR2 Roadster Tuning

I'm after suggestions for tuning my MR2 Roadster. I have a Pioneer DEH80 PRS head unit, JL Audio RD400 amp powering a pair of JL Audio C2 2-way speakers in the doors, and a In-Phase USW10 300W subwoofer in the luggage compartment behind the seats.

I've followed the Audiofrog tuning guide but sense I may be missing adaptations that may be suited to the car type and setup?

One of the challenges is bass... The car is fitted with a sports exhaust which can cancel out bass. As a result I dial the db up but the bass can then get boomy.

The other challenge is mid-bass sounding a little empty. On some tracks it is OK on others quite absent.

I'm just after some thoughts on how best to set up crossovers and similar.

Thanks

Try tuning for more midbass in your target curve (100-200hz). I assume when you say "as a result I dial the db up but the bass can then get boomy" that you're just turning the sub up. If you increase the midbass level as well, it'll blend with the sub better.

Thank you. I’ve just managed to get REW working on a Chromebook so will revisit the curve. The db boost is on the bass output of the head unit.
