The base system is actually pretty good and sometimes I feel like doing a total upgrade might not be worth it because there is not a lot of room for improvement.
yeah, i have the upgraded system and defintely debate the value of upgrading.... but 200-250hz is way too high for subs.... I notice it in songs with heavy 100-200hz bass with the volume up, the subs get muddy, not full on distortion, but it sounds bad.... proabably because theyre trying to do too much
