What kind of music are you listening to and what is the source? It's more than just the system.
I exclusively listen to music through my phone to an aux cable, due to my phone having both beatsaudio and an extremely high quality converter. Playing well produced music and not exceeding 75% volume on the phone itself makes for pretty stellar sound even in my base audio system.
I'm not sure the quality of the converters of the sync system, but I would first try flattening the EQ of the shaker, and EQing your source, as well as lowering the volume of the source.

@twentythirteen - I tried every source. CD, USB, BT, and Sat... Basically I discovered to do what you suggested, adjust at the source.
I had a 2012 for a total of eight days with the Shaker 500 and I remember being pleased with the audio system so perhaps something was changed on the 2013's...?

Go drive a kia rio for a week then get in the mustang, you'll stop complaining. I do that every week. The base head unit leaves something to be desired for ease of controls and presentation compared to the rest of fords line up for sure, but hey, its a pony car, not luxury.
