With that being said, it would be nice if we had more control over the EQ on the stock headunit. It is an upgrade over some vehicles (like the scion headunit), but the stock EQ doesn't carry relevant bands for aftermarket sound solutions. We desperately need a way to EQ out 4k and <80hz.

Agreed. The 15 band eq on the cafi does an ok job, but without Q adjustment its still lacking.

I'm hoping a minidsp will do the trick when I upgrade my drivers finally. But now I'm thinking a full treatment of sound damping should be first.
