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

does it happen to have RCA female output plugs on the back?
I ask, because if you could bypass the amplifier stage on the unit, you might be able to use something like a used JBL-MS8 to integrate it?
 

The device I suggested uses a stereo microphone and has capacity for full time alignment of up to eight programmable channels, high, low and band pass.
If the SUV is the devil's work, a time aligning dsp for car is heavenly.
