I have an 02 EX with the factory system (6-disc in-dash changer). You may think I'm nuts, but this thing sounds better all-around than the aftermarket system in my old car. I had a Ford Probe with Infinity Reference Series 2-way, directional 6.5"'s in front and 6x8"'s in the rear. Had a decent amp, Eclipse head unit and a single 10" sub. I mean, it sounded good and loud, but didn't have the kind of clarity and low-volume power that this factory system has. I'm impressed, although I'm sure these speakers are probably made of the cheapest materials going.
