First and cheapest upgrade, remove the centre speaker in the dash, you get better sound staging and some better bass response.

Not bad for a freebie !

ultimately i’m looking for just much better sound quality not necessarily power

any help would be most appreciated!

…just had focals installed (tweeters and woofers) and i don’t think it’s the placebo effect…sound is definitely better - much cleaner, vibrant…i even think the bass sounds more lively…only one hour of listening/driving but to circle back on this thread i think it’s a definite upgrade…!

Thank you for reporting back, it's always useful. A lot of people will talk about doing stuff and then never reply afterwards! Which specific Focal speakers did you get?
