The Audiophile system is a good upgrade over the standard system. I listened to both back-to-back before placing my order. The Audiophile produces full, rich music and can be played REALLY load without distorting. Does it produce thundering bass? -NO The bass lines are tight, the vocals clear, and the speakers do a good job of separating the tones. Everyone who's heard the Audiophile system in my car has been really impressed. That being said, car audio taste is subjective. For some, if it's not ear-piercing, it's no good. For others, if it doesn't rattle the windows with bass, it's no good. Kinda like trying to describe exhaust sound- some people like Flowmaster, some like Borla, some like . . .
