What are your settings for your sound system? I used to drive a 98 Civic with only one working speaker, so I feel like my taste in quality is bad. Plus I have no idea what the SVC and Dolby settings do.

 

SVC is Speed Volume Control. The faster you drive, the louder it gets You ever see the movie crybaby? Where they play chicken and he progressively sings louder.. haha. Horrible example, but you get it.

I have mine set to +1 on bass, +3 on treble, fade +1 front, balanced L-R, and +3 Subwoofer. From my experience, turning the bass up on the factory speakers only results in distortion and blown speakers.
