For a warmer sound you want it less aggressive around 4-5K. Maybe drop 3.15 a couple dB. Basically reduce the hump from 2.5K to 6.3K. Normally you don't want to jump the gun and just cut it 8dB. Just reduce it to a smaller bump for starters and see how it sounds. If you think it helped, but it needs more, then just reduce the small hump some more to flatten it out.
Bright usually means the very top end. I don't know where your tweeters are or where their aiming, nor do I know where you had the SPL meter. Usually the tweeters angle and location are not perfect which tends to roll off the top end above 12K or so. You may need to try increasing 16K and 20K by a few db. Too much will just increase the noise floor (hiss) unecessarily, so you'll have to find a compromise.
If you mean bright as something else, then let me know.
You say the chorus was harsh sounding? Do you have any idea what freq range that would be in? If this was at high volume it may have been resonances from the door panel. I've seen that happen in the past. Is it still harsh sounding at lower volumes?
What you can do is play individual test tones through just that speaker (pull rca out of sub amp) and put your ear next to the panel. Go from the bottom x-over freq on up until the tweeter comes in. Do it at about 70-80% volume. If you hear any vibrations or harmonics, you can press on the door panel and see if they go away.
Does the chorus sound as if it is breaking up, maybe? Hard for me to figure that one out.
It is pretty hard to figure these things out without actually being there and listening for myself. I'll do what I can to help, but this tuning thread is obviously limiting.
When you say you found that CD at ridiculous prices, do you mean high or low? $35 is about right for a new disc.
