Default how to improve A5 standard sound system

I recently purchased a new 2011 with a standard Bose sound system. When I listen to music, I feel like something is missing (especially the bass). I am not a crazy audiphile but what are some things I can do to improve this sound system? Under ($700)

I've added a sub and amp to stock systems before with wonderful results. With the battery and signal available in your trunk in the a5, installation would be a breeze. You could do this within your budget.
