BSW audio vs. stock Premium Audio?
Hey all, I was just curious how much of an upgrade if any is the BSW upgrade over the pre-installed "Premium Audio" that comes already installed? Is it worth the $600 or is there not much difference? I'm just looking for a little more clarity and high end stuff (there is already enough low end I think)...I was also looking at replacing the tweeters which should add a little for a pretty low cost....any thoughts would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I replaced my factory L7 speakers with BSW Stage 1 speakers. Nice upgrade. Better clarity and channel seperation. Less harsh.

What upgrade did you do? You didn't have to change out the factory amp did you? Was it truly a direct plug'n'play for the install?
he said he did stage 1 and its direct plug and play but if you have L7 with a center channel you need to order that option so its a like $100 more for that one
BSW is deff worth the price for the improvement

I don't get it are these like aftermarket speakers?
Because as Far as I know, neither BOSE, Harman Kardon, Bang Olufsen , or Bowers-Wilkins make aftermarket speakers for any car.

I don't have the L7 system, bu I added the speaker pkg and it sounds WAY better (especially with the 12 in the trunk - yes 1 sub, I have kids need some trunk space left)
