what is the hate with the audio upgrades cause the stock system is garbage IMO kinda shocked that boston didn't atleast put their mid level speakers in the car. I love music as much as anything and I cant stand when I hear muddy mids and bass that is flat and unnatural sounding.

I still count that under aesthetic upgrades. An audiophile might disagree, but if it doesn't change the way the vehicle moves then I call it aesthetic.

The headers, cat deletes, and NPP fuse pull are my acoustic upgrades.

Lol. As if any other mods can't be seen as a waste of money. Neanderthals.

Could not have put it any better. Audio upgrades are very important. If you drive and turn on the radio at any point...you would change it instantly because the stock even with my upgraded audio from GM sucks. I will be installing my kickers next week!

Audio in my book is on par with visual.

More weight and a waste of money. Boston aqustic sounds good. Subs are probably the most obnoxious thing anyone can ever put in their car. I just put kicker 6x9s in my charger and called it a day. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

I consider my headers and muffler delete to be audio upgrades

AM, FM, SiriusXM radio and an I-pod with over 2 weeks worth of music, and still there is no audio upgrade made that sounds as good as my Kooks headers and MBRP exhaust.

Ya... I'm going audio upgrade

Not to say I didn't go with magnaflow exhaust ... Sometimes turning the radio off and listening to the pipes is music enough
