We just bought a new 2012 2.5i Premium yesterday, with the bluetooth setup. It's our first Subaru. (We're Honda people. Until now, anyway.) I'm no audiophile, but the base sound system is crummy. Very flat and tinny. I've adjusted the (hollow, booming) bass, treble, and mid-range, but I can't get good sound out of this thing. It's worse than my 10-year-old Honda Accord with broken front speakers. Am I missing a setting somewhere, perhaps? Or, if we should just upgrade, what's recommended?
I found an old thread here on the 2010 Forester base sound system that just recommended installing new tweeters. Anyone tried something like that with the 2012? It would be nice not to have to replace the entire dash unit (I don't know the proper names for these things), since I've heard the aftermarket microphones aren't any good.
Anyway, suggestions welcome.
