Hehe, a real seeker

! You are very rare indeed.
There are many levels of kundalini awakening and many different types and definitions of enlightenment. Kundalini activation is potentially dangerous and not necessary.
In advaita vedanta, one can attain enlightenment through knowledge alone or jnana yoga which does not take very long, I assure you. Experiences such as satori, nirvana, samadhi and self-realization are different, depending on your interpretation. The few who attain the highest level of full enlightenment have an indescribable experience of Oneness going beyond duality.
I have experienced a full kundalini activation long before I started Holosync. I started the Centerpointe program in the early 90s when it was only available on cassette tapes and I could talk to Bill Harris anytime back then. We had quite a few discussions on meditation techniques and various audio programs at the time.
If you can afford it and want to go through all the levels of the Holosync program, hey, go for it, but it's not necessary once you know the formula that's used, and it is...
"Each time a participant in The Holosync Solution moves from one deeper level to the next, we lower the carrier frequencies, making that level stronger than the last."
Whether you are using 230 and 240 cps or 190 and 180 cps carrier frequencies, the difference frequency is the same and you can do that yourself with commonly available tools. Make sure that the frequency response of your headphones is low enough.
In spite of all that, I always go back to the simpler techniques that do not require external electrical devices that you are dependent on. What do you do during a power outage or if you're stranded on a desert isle for the rest of your life?
There are some modern techniques to experience an approximation of enlightenment, Buddha, God, Pure Consciousness, etc., far better than meditating for years, if you want some instant gratification.
However, I would recommend the traditional variants of the "Who Am I?" technique by Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi. It's similar to the koan used in Zen Buddhism or Ch'an Buddhism. Some can attain extremely good results after a few months. Most are not able to endure this simple technique for very long - but it doesn't cost you a cent (or whatever your atomic currency denomination is).
Achieving full enlightenment carries a risk. You may find it difficult to function effectively in society. Especially if you have to hold down a job and support a family. Everyone wants it but may not realize its implications. You would have to spend some time re-integrating yourself in the ordinary world.
