Best premium sound settings

Anyone with a good musical ear have suggestions for the premium sound settings? When I first got the car the settings were extreme treble and bass. I just set everything back to zero.

I found these settings in one of the threads here:
Treble +5 (or +4)
Bass 0 (or +1 for some albums)
Surround off

100Hz -2
200Hz -3
500Hz 0
1KHz +2
2KHz +1
5KHz +2
10KHz +3

Even after trying suggested settings I could never get the sound how I like it. Disappointing for a "premium" system

The factory system is lacking highs. That's the worst part.
