your pops is right, in a way.
Nothing is more reliable than your stock deck and stock speakers. (unless you have a german car). If you leave the stock speakers, you have a 0% chance of ruining door panels, whereas if you replace speakers, you DO have some risk of breaking interior pieces. I personally broke one of the stock tweeter covers and once window up/down switch when I did my install.
But aftermarket WILL sound better... so whats more important to you guys?
For starters, this thread is older than trees.....but to answer your question as to what is more important between better sound or a car that isn't broken. I'm gonna go with C which is a better sounding system with a non broken car. Just because you f-ed something up doesn't mean everyone else did.
