[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8583678, member: 650438"] There's no way around it. You need a head unit with a 13 band EQ or more. Or if you can hide a small digital sound processor somewhere. You just need some heavy EQ along with a head unit with better Digital audio convertors. Your stock head unit is 8 to 12 bit at best. you need 24 bit. With the EQ you'll be lowering 5khz to 8khz range a lot to tame the harshness. However I noticed with a good head unit, it already takes away the harshness you get with a crappier radio. The radio does that much. Nothing you do amplifier settings or playing your speakers for a long time will solve your issue. All those are completely useless to the problems you are facing. If you do get a head unit make sure its 13 band EQ or higher, 24 bit dac. decent pre-out voltage. Hard to keep the stock look if you want quality audio. [/QUOTE]
