Default Vent seat upgrade

2014 LX. With the vent seat turned up as high as it will go, I sometimes can't even tell it is on. Was in a new ('16) RX last week, and the seats were wonderful, blew with a lot of force. I told the dealer about this during my last service and was told they were working, and that they were never that powerful to begin with. I then asked about upgrading or modifying and was told that there was no way to do it.
Has anyone out there upgraded their seats to blow /vent harder, with more force?
Houston summers (and springs, falls, and winters) are brutal and Id like for the seats to work like they do in the new RX.

Seat cooling was almost non-existent in my past LX units. The 2016 was a big step ahead and it looks like they put multiple fans in the front seats now. It works much better but still could be improved.

This is literally a joke feature in the LX. It's labeled as seat cooling and sold as a feature, but it's actually just seat noise.

You will need to use the air conditioning.

Agreed but on the 2016 it actually does work. Still not as good as my F150 Platinum which has forced AC
