Model Year 25/26 Basic Sound System Upgrade to Facelift Options?

[Steve-Formentor]

Having accepted delivery of my Formentor Beyond (same as V2) without the Sennheiser system that I had originally specced (no delivery date could be provided), I can't live with the basic sound system. If I was in UK, would be easy to upgrade at somewhere like Cambridge Audio but in Spain, not so easy. There are several competent auto electricians locally who could do this if they are provided with the equipment. So, has anyone upgraded the basic sound system on their Formentor facelift and with what equipment. I was thinking along the lines of upgrading all speakers and having an active spare wheel subwoofer such as the JBL.

What source do you use for you music?

I stream via my phone and Android Auto. Upgrading to Hi-Res / lossless on Tidal made a noticeable difference in listenable sound quality in my Ateca VZ.

I flit between android auto and plugged in usb stick that is better because all files on there are maximum bit rate. However, not happy with any aspects of the sound, to give you an idea, my home Hi Fi is 10 grands worth of equipment that I know I can't re-produce, just looking for a noticeable improvement across the frequency range.

^^^^ Understand that. You've clearly got the source covered; now for the reproduction.

On that, I'm sorry, but I'm out of touch with current equipment.
