since i have been without a truck for a while its hard to say, but an ipod on the dash with a portable speaker gets 20 points..... a charger that has been tuned and specifically built for sq competitions get roughly 80 points. im guessing the sony system would get around 40 points. however, sq builds are different than normal builds. most sq vehicles dont have rear speakers. it is designed to sit and close your eyes and you should be able to pinpoint where that particular instrument is coming from. and can tell how far behind the drummer or bass guitar is from the singer. as if you were right in front of a symphony or live band. not so much rock or metal or rap etc. but a concert hall with many different instruments

I'm surprised at 40, but maybe they improved it in the '13s with MFT.

I strongly dislike the stereo in the truck, regrettably there's a lot of stuff I'd like to do that precedes upgrading it. I'm not an audiophile, hell, I was "reasonably satisfied" with the stock Bose system in my '04 GMC Sierra. I *miss* that Bose system. And it was well and truly crap. Just kind of wish my $2,430 upgraded Sony system sounded better than my Klipsch computer speakers ($180), or my SENA Bluetooth headset I use on the motorcycle ($150)...as it stands I enjoy music more from either of those sources. I'm not even asking for the thing to play music very loud, just to play it tolerably at 50% volume.

I may eventually just try swapping speakers and the sub (given that it's low effort), though I think everyone says the real problem is the need for a proper amp.
