One exception - ever heard the Bose system that came stock in Third Gen RX-7 ?
Very unique wave design. It sounds incredible. I **** you not.

Simply adding a subwoofer helps a lot. It can be done fairly cheaply if you are willing to do the install yourself. It is easy and took me about 3 hours total. I used the following equipment:

Rockford Fosgate Prime 250-1 amp $150.00
Rockford Fosgate Punch P2D410 subwoofer $96.99
Prefab custom subwoofer box $75.00

Throw in a high level -> RCA converter and an amp wiring kit and you are good to go. Tap in with the converter to the speakers in the back for signal, run the power under the trim on either side and ground it near the amp. Adds a nice thump without destroying the sound.
