I'd love to find a way to get decent sound out of it but all retrofits proposed so far tie into the speaker connections and re-equalize and amplify from there. I'd like to hear from anyone who has managed to improve on it without losing some integrated function.

The Bose in my 350Z vert was great in comparison and, with the roof down, you could crank it yet is was never painful. HK should take a lesson and put some engineering into the sound quality in addition to the gadget integration.
One thing I've noticed about the HK sound system is it strives for clarity/voice over volume/bass, and well, combine that with a convertible and you have disastrous results.
