It’s probably tuned pretty flat, and that’s a common issue, if you have never been around a truly flat frequency response, and sound treatment .

In my studio my main and near fields for mixing are very flat and unforgiving, also very fatiguing, but they tell me no lies, that works for mixing or mastering music. And having that mix translate well on all types of systems.
Ya it’s bright .

in the car for music listening pleasure, I don’t want a flat response,
Many much more fun curves exist.
Seems to me they just tuned it flat, ask them!
I would talk to the tuner about being unhappy with the tune and why, and what you are looking for.
It cannot hurt, to let them know you are not happy with the sound. See what they say, before blowing them off.

Nice install man, the pictures tell the story well.

Definitely not blowing them off and didn’t mean for it to sound that way. I’m taking it back and explaining what I’d like to achieve. There’s somewhat of a language barrier, as I’m a neophyte. I’m doing my best. I know what I want it to sound like, just struggle to convey that.

Fatiguing is a good way to describe the sound right now. I felt like I had to turn the volume up to a certain level to hear the bass I wanted to hear, but at that point, the mid and tweet was screaming in my face.

So flat can be synonymous with bright? I assumed otherwise…shows my level of understanding.

Speaking of mixing or mastering, the way it’s setup now, some stuff sounds great. I have a new appreciation for whoever did work for the Dire Straits. So far, it sounds the most accurate with the way it’s tuned.

Took the truck to a different shop to time the DSP, night and day. Sounds great now.
