[QUOTE="Cliff459, post: 8259549, member: 660957"] I think most factory speakers will sound like "crap" when paired to aftermarket ones. Factory systems have a complete system design paradigm to maximize the balance between cost vs sound quality and SPL. This is decided by a group of engineers at the auto factory, and many things swing the balance one way or the other towards each factor being considered. That's why aftermarket systems sound so different, a totally different set of criteria are used to design them. "Better" or "Worse" are really just subjective judgements, in the end. So, there you go on that...
