I just purchased this sweet ride fully loaded except for the B & O premium stereo. I was disappointed that it did not have the premium stereo but then read a bunch of posts claiming that the B & O was not particularly great.
I found the sound to be muffled and not very bright. I did not want to go crazy with upgrades so I decided to change some of the speakers.
I purchased everything from Crutchfield because their prices are competitive and their website and customer service is excellent. Went with Infinity Reference 3 1/2 2 way for the upper door speakers and the center channel speaker. Relatively easy to change. Hardest part was disassembling door panels. Had to do a little stripping and splicing with the old and new wire harnesses but everything fit in quite well.
Then I changed out the rear side panel speakers with Kicker 4x6 2 ways. Crutchfield included the wiring adaptors and universal size adaptors for free. Truly plug and play with wiring but I did need to modify the plastic spacers to fit properly. Everything fit well and the panels fit back over them perfectly.
Using the stock stereo and amplifier the sound is excellent. Crisp, bright and loud. Really as loud as anyone could need (especially when you have the GT engine burbling in the back ground). Very happy with this under $250 upgrade. You can't beat it. Only possible addition might be a small self powered subwoofer in the future to round out the sound a bit. It is definitely brighter than it is deep. Bass is not bad but the subwoofer would make this system perfect--for me.
