You need to get the system analyzed with an real time analyzer (RTA). The RTA will identify if equalization is an issue and display the frequency response of your audio system.

Aside from that you need to determine the source units signal to noise ratio and dynmaic range. Ditto for the amplifier too. My guess is that neither are good. My humble guess is that its 60Hz to 16kHz.

Additionally, I bet the amplifier and speakers are okay.

A great aftermarket installer can identify what is missing and make some suggestions. The system should have a smooth response with no more than 3dB change from octave to octave. And it should have a strong front stage and just a tag bit of rear fill.

If they aren't MECP certified and don't know what IASCA stands for then you should walk. Otherwise they will probably just want to sell you some gear.

I have the same problem with my GS, can any one recommend a good shop in Philadelphia or New York for this?
