Suggestions for my system

So I currently have the following.

 

DC 2000k

2 Alpine type X 12 subs. 
Prefab Metra vented box at 38hz, going to get a custom enclosure made soon hopefully tuned to 32hz. Want lower but unfortunately it’s my only vehicle and military so need some room in the trunk for storage. 
kenwood KAC-3104 75x4 at 2ohms 50x4 at 4ohms

JL 6.5 C1-650 6.5 4ohms 50w rms door pretty much deadened fully, have to replace the plastic panel due to a really bad scratch before I can finish the doors.

JL C1 650 tweeter

Kicker 47KSC3504 3.5 Mids. Cut the tweeter line.

Expert 6ch Bluetooth DSP

 

Playing around with the dsp I have found an ideal setup with my subwoofer remote turned down. This is subs crossed over at 75hz 24db, 6.5s 65hz-250hz 24db. 3.5s 180hz and up with the tweeters on a passive crossover. I do want to got to a full active setup in the future now that I’m back on active duty and actually have funds. So with this it sounds pretty good. Be great for road-tripping when I have the backseat up and the trunk filled with gear or whatever. Issue is when I am daily driving and I want the bass up. All of the mid bass from the front feels over powered by the subwoofer. I have messed with all sorts of crossover points but it still feels like the 70hz to 200hz area gets drowned out and I can localize them bass to the rear or the bass is in front but it’s not as impactful 
 

So what options do I have. Ideally I’d like the to have a preset for good front stage with pretty decent bass available for my road-trips when using my subs isn’t ideal but also have the capability on another preset to go ham but it sound cleaner. 
 

1.  I can do about $500 right now.  Invest in a better amp for the mids and highs tune lower for now then get a full 3 way of higher quality later?
2. wait a few months for my budget to go up go with a full 3-way Component and better amp/dsp?

3. Wait longer and do a custom fab with 8” for midbass and swap the 3.5 and tweets?

Been racking my brain for weeks on this. Finally what speaker/amps would you suggest either short term and/or long term? I’m not looking to compete but I do like clean sounding Music that is fairly loud. Where I am right now is about the loudest I want just want a little more quality. 
 

sorry for long post. Love this forum. Helped a lot with setting gains, crossovers and the like but this is just beyond my pay grade. Lol

So I’ve narrowed down some of my options. 
 

Alpine Type Rs 6.5

Alpine Type X 6.5

or just redo the whole front stage with Hertz 163.3 3 way or similar setup

Either way I know a new amp would be necessary so any recommendations for the above would be great. May be a month or two before I could pull the trigger but info in the meantime would be great.
