So when I decided to get a BRZ, I knew the radio was not anything special, and to some sounded like crap. I was more concerned with how the car drove, how I fit in the car (I'm 6'2"), so when I test drove it and it passed these two criteria, I purchased my 2013 a couple weeks ago happily.
On the drive home, I plugged my iPod in to listen to some music, and the radio sounded tinny. Figured it was not great with the highway noise, and I'd adjust the EQ settings when I got home. Arrived home, and was appalled at the sound quality, thinking "I knew it's wasn't gonna be great, but didn't think it was gonna be this bad", and decided not to really listen to music in it as this is my first manual car and it would be a distraction.
Fast forward to today and I play music again, and think something has to be wrong with my radio, as people on this forum talk about how the bass rattles the interior, and no matter how much I adjust the eq settings I can barely get any bass. I open the door and put my ear up to the door speaker: nothing.
The fuse to the amp in the trunk was blown this whole time I've had the car and it took me almost 3 weeks to notice lol
Now the radio sounds decent and I'm even happier with the car than I was before
