The fact that all of that has to be done to get a stock radio system to play rap music is ridiculous though.

Agreed!
I was pretty impressed with the bass that the factory 6x9's can put out with a clean amp pushing them. Replacing the amp and adding a little dynamat goes a very long way in this car.
After everything I learned doing my install, I really think I could have been close to satisfied by adding some dynamat and replacing the factory amp with the JBL MS-8. Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately, for my bank account, I had to learn a lot through trial and error.
I wish I could take a factory car and just replace the Boston amp with a MS-8 though. I'd love to hear what it could do by itself. I'd bet on it sounding awesome if it was set up correctly.
