Compaired to having someone custom build a box, cover it, install amps and speakers, it's not a bad deal. I have built a few boxes, but I checked with bestbuy once. They wanted $700 to build a custom box for my crew cab, speakers and amps were seperate. However compaired to the $400 I spent on particle board, screws, liquid nails, speakers and a amp, it's hard to justify a kit.
It comes down to convience. They aren't a competition box, but they will do for listening to music and all you have to do is run a couple of wires. Verses a couple of days to build and cover a box.
I plan on keeping my 6 disc indash for atleast another year. Before that, I will upgrade my door speakers (i figure about $1200 for two good sets of speakers and a 4ch amp) and probably upgrade to a pair of 12" subs (another $500). I think it will work well, until I am ready to unload 2k for nav/stereo.
All I am trying to say is, it will work, but it's up to you on what you want to do. If you can afford it, drop a couple of thousand dollars on it in one shot. Or like me, upgrade and peice it together as you go.
