Vamp - the best one to answer that is you. Do you like it now, or do you want more?!?!? How much do you enjoy music? How much do you listen to, or do you just want it loud...
Me personally, I am a music fanatic. I built my system to be equal throughout - not just loud, or heart-stopping bass, or whiny. I listen to everything except opera and hard rap. I spend a lot of time in my ride, and wanted a clean sound that was even throughout the spectrum.
It depends on how you want it to sound, and what you want to be able to hear... There is a difference between 'listening' to a system, and being able to 'hear' a system...
Cobra's right. The main thing you need to think about when asking yourself if you should upgrade or what not, is when listening to your music, does it leave you urging for more of something? More bass? Clarity? Usually systems are loud enough, but can't keep their clarity and bass (things like that) when loud, so people get dissapointed and upgrade. You are the one who will have to decide. Now if you want to upgrade and don't know what to get, then thats what needs to be answered by us .
