Imho

My suggestion is to turn off the radio and listen to the Flat Six Symphony.

1. Get an aftermarket exhaust.
2. Find highway overpass or tunnel.
3. Rev above 4k.

I just put an Alpine head unit in last weekend. Sounds alot better. I think I'll put in new speakers in later this year.

What you need is a Car Sound Systems Professional. Swing by your local shop with a good $1,000 in your back pocket and ask him to surprise you on that budget. Normally you end up with a near perfect sound at that price.

I had $200 budget on sound only so I just changed to a 40Wx4 unit. Perfect for garage/wrenching music only tho

I've got an Kenwood amp and MB Quarts left over from my old BMW. I'll be looking into adding them in the future.

Easy and inexpensive upgrade..just

add new dash speakers. I highly recommend the infinity kappas 42.9i.
The OEM dash speakers are a joke - cardboard from Nokia.
Belong in the clock radio at motel 6.
