i don't believe there's any way to adjust the bass at all on the US unit(eq only goes down to 100hz)... i found the stock speakers to be overwelmingly bassey at lower volumes(and of course, downright useless at higher volumes), with no way to tune that out, so that was a major factor for me to replace the deck..

So can i even do anything with it? Like eq settings that would help?

Nope. The eq bands are too wide.

Also, your 6" door woofers are wired as subwoofers and deliver absolutely hideous bass.
