    If anyone else feels the same as me, that the FG audio system is crap, then I have found a simple solution. MONEY.
    With enough MONEY, you can throw out all those cheap and nasty speakers they put in at the factory and replace them, the sub and the amp with real audio gear, and the difference is like night and day. No need to replace the factory stereo, just the speakers.
    I have had this upgrade done to my FG and couldn't be happier. If I had known it would make this much difference I would have gotten my BA upgraded as well, as the BA audio system is pretty average too...... but better than the FG's.
    Not sure why they call it 'Premium' sound package. I'd hate to hear what the standard audio systems sound like.

    Rapid Radio in Grey Lynn. They get to work on some faily nice (read expensive) cars in there.
    Just got what they recomended which was Soundstream amp and Kicker Sub. The front speakers are a brand I've never heard of before called if you can believe, 'Rainbow' .... aparently they are German.

    If I'm gonna do it then I'm gonna do it right, and anything less then 30% wouldn't do the brand justice.... bounce
