Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great


I’ve a new to me 2019 Volvo XC60 with Harmon Kardon stereo system and XM Sirius.  Sounds a bit lifeless and not sure of either system quality or signal quality of Sirius. My older Volvo I fitted with Focal flax drivers and ran an iPod.  Much better overall.

Should I explore a different service and/or replace drivers?  Not looking for aural Nirvana here, just much better than MP3 sounding dreck.  Thanks

Sirius streams @ about 40kbps. Lifeless as in dead.

OK for talk radio only like AM.

The rest of your sys is probably fine for road use.

Sirius is still gonna sound bad on the best stuff money can buy.
