I'd been going back and forth about this upgrade too and came to the conclusion I don't need it. I'm a pretty big audiophile, but I also know that engine noise, exhaust noise, and road noise often make high end car audio systems kind of pointless. The factory speakers provide adequate sound, it just needs some oomph from a big sub. I'm sure the 8" in the OEM 400 sounds good, but it's just not going to hit like a 10 or 12 does. And when you're driving, there's so much interference noise that the difference in quality is hard to notice; especially if you have an exhaust and/or no sound-deadening material.

As good as I'm sure the OAP kit sounds, I think my personal needs are better met with a 10" trunk box for 1/3 the cost.
