[QUOTE="crash457, post: 1116380, member: 20759"] There are some stages of upgrade that will improve the sound quality. Be warned though, audio upgrades are a slippery slope. It doesn't take long to find the next weakest link. 1. First upgrade for most is the sub and use the factory amp and enclosure. You can swap the Sony sub with a Kicker for a cheap upgrade. 2. At that point you will hear the lack of quality in the door speakers. These can be upgraded while keeping the factory amp. 3. At this point you will find that the Kicker sub is lacking on power. You decide to add an aftermarket amp and possibly a custom sub box. You have to add a processor for the amp input. 4. At this point the sub now overpowers the new door speakers, so you decide to upgrade the amp for the door speakers. If you were smart you bought a processor that does more than 2 channels, otherwise you have to replace that. In the end, you've done a full system upgrade. If you replace anything, always buy items that will work in the system with future upgrades. It will save you money in the long run. [/QUOTE]
