I want to improve the sound of my new Montero. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm audiophile or anything close to it, but the stock audio system is pretty bad. It sounds like the speakers are wrapped in thick cloth. Too muffled.:thumbdown:

I don't have the money to change the HU so I'll leave it as is. But how do I improve the sound? I can spend 10k max. 5k if possible.

Don't care about bass. Not my thing. Gunning for clarity lang.

So, the real question is how do I improve SQ with the bare minimum modifications to the stock setup?


Amp? Separates? Alone or both. Or am i completely off track?

Again, i don't expect any miracles. Just some level or personal satisfaction. Heck, my thousand peso Creative speakers at home sound better than my Montero audio. That's saying a lot.
