[QUOTE="phtogy, post: 5534671, member: 606785"] I made the mistake of buying a Toyota Sienna with the lower end stock sound system. Frankly, it is the absoulute WORST that I have ever heard. It is actually unlistanable for several reasons. 1. Must be turned up to about 80% of voulume while car is on highway to even hear it. 2. Scratchy highs, boomy bottom end and no middle tones. My suspicion is that this being a mini van, there is a fairly large area that needs to be filled up with sound and that the head unit is simply weak. Understanding that the speakers are no doubt lousy will only add to the problem. Here is the issue. I have a great ear, but a low budget. WIth that being said, I am considering dealing with this issue in increments with the goal of producing at least listenable sound. Based on a low budget, I am no looking to create awesome sound in a min van. I need advice as to where to start first based on the above information. Head unit or speakers?? [/QUOTE]
