but after adding a couple of small 8" subs with a good amp, I will say the stereo sounds a million times better . 8" subs are large enough to put a very solid low end in whatever you listen to, but arent large enough to actually be heard outside the car. I also lined my entire interior from the seats back with second skin damplifier, so I am not getting any annoying vibrations or rattles, even from the license plate. Thanks to a nicer working condition factory cd player I got from Kevin, I have no skipping and with the subs installed I can let the Bose shine in the highs and mids (what they really were designed for) and really get far better performance out of the whole system as a whole. It's really hard to believe it is still a factory system.
