My previous car was a Mazda 3 SP23 with a stock 6 speaker Bose system which puts this to shame. What are the thoughts of people that have heard both the stock and upgrade? Is $1500 worth the upgrade? Is the stereo the same manufacturer, speaker size etc
actually, for about the same spend, u can go aftermarket with front splits, amp, and an underseat sub or a small sub.
i did this for my car and it was about $1k installed. granted i bought all my stuff online, as buying locally u will pay more than double.
