Super Duty Sound System Poll

I'd like to know where everyone stands on the stock sound system in these trucks. I have 4 options.

1.) I have a stock sound system and I'm happy with it.
2.) I have a stock sound system and I'm not satisfied with it.
3.) I have a stock sound system because the sound just isn't important to me.
4.) I went aftermarket and happy I did.


I never posted a poll before, so I don't have a clue what this will look like. Moderators, please look it over and fix it up as needed.

Never happy with stock systems. Went with an Alpine IVA-D310 indash DVD player with 7" monitor and have a 5 channel Alpine 5.1 Dolby theatre amp on its way. Plan to go with Alpine Type R components.

Left the stock 6 disk changer so the theives won't break into my truck. Upgraded the speakers and an amp plus sub woofer.

When I was a lot younger I had 8 12" subs in a wall built into the back of my '90 Isuzu Rodeo that would hit 168dB, but now I don't even listen to music. In fact, I don't even think the station buttons are programmed on the stock radio. Although I do still have the 50 watts@4ohm Lanzar 50C that pushed those 8 subs, somewhere in my garage.

Went with upgraded speakers all around, bazooka tube behind seat and flip down 10" screen, aux jacks and a Kenwood DDX7015 upfront, which meets my needs and more (thats with no amps). Gonna do samething when new SD emerges in next few years.

I left mine stock, but I did add a Sirius Sportster to it. Gets the job done for me.

Im rollin stock on the radio end as of now, but, stock still sucks. I voted stock sucks because I have only had the truck a week and have been focused on the performance mods right now. After I get my water meth I am gonna go with a in-dash DVD player and some 10's behind the seat.

I got a Garmin NUVI for Christmas that is really nice. It's portable from vehicle to vehicle, mounts anywhere and is about the size of a deck of cards. I charge the battery in advance so I have no cords and I have it suction cup mounted to the windshield at the top next to the rearview mirror.

I really enjoy listening to MY music. That is why I opted for MP3's and Satellite over just local radio and single CD. Also there are low frequencies in a lot of the music I listen to that the factory speakers just can't reproduce. I don't crank the sub to shake the neighborhood but I certainly notice a difference.
