Thanks for the advice and views. Finally got around to doing something about it.

First, I did recheck equaliser settings, but nothing I hadn't already found.

Checked the wiring but everything was OK and in phase. But I found the interference on FM radio, which was so annoying, disappeared when I disconnected a wire (not the aerial lead) between the head unit and the aerial. Not sure what it was supposed to even do.

The installed Blaupunkt speakers are 4-inch and retail at £20 or so. Because I didn't want to start cutting into the panel around the roof window I was stuck with the same size. Changing them however for a pair of speakers from Focal for £90 delivered has transformed the sound and I'm now a lot happier with how everything sounds (not exactly the Naim system I have at home, but that's a couple of quid more). They are a bit deeper (a much bigger magnet), so were a tight fit, but they went in eventually with a bit of fettling. Think I'll leave the JVC head unit in place, at least for now.
