Okay guys, here is what I have so far.

I ordered an IASCA CD 2 disc set a few days ago to help with the tuning process. I couldn't find my old USACI one from back in the day? I created a couple of presets with the TWK 88, one of them I used the recommended values suggested by JL Audio for a 4 way set up. It sounds okay, I haven't put it on a RTA yet, tweeters are bright, midrange is awesome, I dont care for the midbass yet... I was able to input all the speaker distances into the dsp, I didnt really notice a difference, looking to get the vocals centered coming form the dash. This DSP has tons of features that will take a while to play with.

 Hp the midrange lower and hp the tweeter higher for starters 

 

Try 24db slope  on all and attenuate the tweeters down a little 

I did . On one of my other presets I have the midrange bandpassed at 300hz - 6000hz using the Linkowitz-Riley crossovers set 24db.  The Tweeter is set to 6000hz - 20K at 12db. I was just following the passive crossover settings from HA Audio for the same speakers I own. I have yet to play with a the trim settings.

Just a quick Little update, 

I wasn't all that crazy about my mid bass response I was getting from my HA Unity 6x9s, so decided to lower the frequency and take it from -12db to -9db, and just like that, the mid bass alone is enough to rattle my rear view mirror on certain tracks. They sound nice and punchy. Still haven't adjusted any slopes but for now I am pretty happy.

I read a recommendation for a couple of great songs to test for great mid bass, one was Keep it on the reel by 3X Krazy. Sounded fantastic !

Just read the whole thread. Nice setup! 

Lemon by Rihanna has some great midbass as well as deep 1 octave drop bass lines. I'm using it to try and get my own mid bass figured out. 

 

Thank you Sir, I will check that track out!!
