Im satisfied with the way it sounds, but I think I'll eventually replace the head unit. The DAC and the DSP in the stock HU is awful! But, with the speaker upgrades, it sounds a lot better.

What did you use to determine that?
My ears. Haha. I guess I should've said, to my ears, the DAC and DSP on the HU sound awful. You can definitely hear a lot of sound compression in the mid and upper frequencies.

I must be getting old as I don't have any issues with the output of the stock system. Then again I am far past the days when I would annoy the hell out of people with my loud music and subs.

I don't mind the volume of the stock system, but I do find the FM tuner to be shoddy at best. It constantly sounds on the edge of coverage on every station.

I didn't mind the volume of the stock system at all - it just sounded terrible. It's like going to a CiCi's Pizza Buffet - there's plenty to eat, but it just all tastes like crap :)
