1- You will never get good sound with the stock tweeters. The upgrade Kicker tweeters are a huge improvement and well worth the money.
2- This is an issue with the non-NAV unit, which has hidden EQ settings (the unit in my Impreza premium does not have this).
From NASIOC, turn loudness off and set EQ as desired: "Key in ACC position, radio off: Hold preset button #6 while spinning the right adjust knob 4 or 5 notches; release button, then repeat. Now you're in the adjustable presets pages. Spinning the knob or hitting the "back" button will bring up loudness, EQ, and screen brightness settings, which can be toggled with the knob."
That is the stupidest procedure I have ever seen for adjusting something as basic as an equalizer setting. Most radios have a single button for toggling between bass, treble, loud settings, fade, and balance. Boo to Subaru on that one.
