Checking …..

edit: didn’t notice if you noticed any difference between top up or down, although it shouldn’t matter and then need the ‘test’ tune so can see / hear.

No noticeable difference with top up or down.

Things i noticed

Center speaker is overpowering in surround or stereo mode

Rear speakers are super mute.

EQ helps but barley and would almost need to be adjusted on ever song to be good. Or at minimum every "album"

Something is very off about the sound.

It's much better with a decent sub. Also it requires a lot of volume.

The system itself is fine, it's just the subwoofer that's "meh". If you're an audiophile you can opt for the 9-speaker system, or an aftermarket subwoofer. Thankfully, it's easy to access the subwoofer in the trunk.

Redline Subwoofer arrived today, will get to it soon.

That's my opinion as well. The factory sub is "thumpy". The rest of the system sounds decent. Putting my Pioneer in this weekend.

I haven't installed the Redline yet but I did check the OEM sub with my head beside it. I had a decent song and volume on. I couldn't believe how bad the performance was. It won't take much to make an improvement.

How does ‘No quarter’ at (volume) 20 do for you?

I do not own it so can only check on streaming services. But will give it a go.

It’s called an offsite backup

To be fair, watch for @:47 seconds, there should be a decent punch, 20 may be a tad high.
