I have the bass turned up all the way, and while it doesnt thump and vibrate like people seem to like these days, it does provide good deep bass and clear sounds.

I will take a look tonight. I do not want the thump either, but at least want to hear some of the low end...

Then upgrading the under seat woofers to Earthquakes may help you. My BSW pkg came with 4 sets of speakers, maybe that's what you mean? There are a mid and tweeter in each door, and components in the rear deck, hence 8 speakers (+ 2 under seat woofers = 10 speakers)

I have the Logic7 in mine and the sound is great! I have it concert surround sound mode and it blows my mind how loud it will get with no distortion whatsoever. I am adding a sub in the trunk though for some more bass. The highs and clarity are better than any stock system I've had before.

Hmm, again, excuse my ignorance on this subject. I ordered the BSW Stage I package for a standard car (since I do not have Logic7) and it only came with 4 speakers (2 mids and 2 tweets), so I assumed that my vehicle only had 4 speakers.. I guess BSW only upgrades the front door speakers and the rear deck speakers. I am going to have to take a closer look at the entire system tonight to see what I really have. If there are subs under my front seats, I'm not hearing them..

Yeah, the only system with fewer than 10 speakers in the base system. However, that is only sold is base models in Europe, US spec cars come with what the Europeans call the "HiFi" system or the 10 speaker system. So unless your car originated as a base model in Europe you cannot possibly have fewer than 10 speakers.

I have logic 7 and it sounds very good... but one thing...it does not sound that good if you hear from outside (who care about this as long as it sounds good inside)
