Default 2018 Impreza - Fosgate Audio?

Still a relative newbie to this forum - hope this is the right forum to post. (Not sure, but I see very few threads.)

We picked up a 2018 Impreza Premium a few weeks back. Love it. Better than we expected. However, we are nwo finding that the car has a number of options on it that we did not see listed at purchase and were not charged for. This includes the Homelink Mirror and special protective paint coating.

Question: Our speakers have a logo on it that states 'RockfordFosgate'. THere seem to be a small amp under the passenger seat. Is this stock stereo for the Premium model or is it an upgrade?

Truth be told, the audio is quite poor compared to my stock base Mazda 3 (2017) model or the stock base on our 2004 Forester XT. It just does not sound natural - feels like some frequency is missing or something.

Can I improve the sound just by changing out the speaker drivers and keeping the same electronic units or do I need to change everything out?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Check this out. Sounds to me like the Rockford "upgrade" is just a PITA.
