Try the hidden EQ function in the radio. I couldn't believe how much bass the stock system had once adjusted.

You gotta shut the radio off, hold down the source select button (i think that's what it's called) then turn the radio back on (still holding other button down). Instead of the CD track or radio station, the EQ should pop up on display.

Dude!!! Now that I know that! I am so putting my degree into good use. :P I guess a video and sound degree pays off when you have an EQ function in the car. LOL Now I can get an even better sound experience and make it actually sound like surround sound. LOL[sm=badbadbad.gif]

It's such a !@#$ in the !@# to install an after-market stereo that I figured it was better to make-do with what I had. First you have to have the dealer reprogram the CEM to not include the radio in its diags, then even if you get the right adapters there's the issue of the steering wheel controls. Well, you get the idea... might not have a whole lot of frequencies to adjust but the hidden EQ works well enough for me anyways.
