Default Upgrade audio system

I would like to upgrade my stereo system in my 2014. ConvertibleWhat's the easiest way anybody know? I would like to try to keep it as original as I could. Does anybody know our hair of a good stereo shop in southern California? LA area Lakewood.

My 2017 2LT sound system sounds great when the car is sitting still with the engine idling.
Sounds ok at 30 mph.
Sounds like junk at 60 mph.
It's just noise at 90 mph, no discernable music.

I'd work on reducing the background noise before anything else.

Start with your source material, then properly adjust the audio settings, then do some sound deadening. You'd be surprised at how good the system can sound. And I've spent tens of thousands of dollars upgrading car audio systems over the last few decades.

That is ALWAYS my first response. I use nothing but the best I can find and sometimes my nephew will re-equalize some songs I really like (that I know is a little extreme) and the sound is incredible on playback. There's a You -Tube channel called the Music Enhancement channel where the guy reworks and enhances all the original recordings. Mostly 60's and 70's pop music which is what I happen to like. Check it out.
