Audiophile/stereo question

What is the difference between the standard stereo and the audiophile. I know there are differences in the head unit, but are there differences in the speakers and the rest of the system?

In addition, it uses Boston Acousitic component speakers in the front doors.

Use the 'Search' button and check out the audio forums for more information.

Adding to what Dzervit said, if you arent familiar with "component" speakers it means there are 2 speakers in the front doors, a mid-range speaker and then a seperate tweeter...stock speakers would have the mid-range and tweeter in the same speaker...sounds really good, its worth the extra 600 for the 6 disc changer and the speaker upgrades....i do wish there would have been an option for the 1000watt system the new mustang has offered......

Not to mention, you can set the speakers to different settings for when it's just you or when you have a full truck. I really like that feature.

Oh and the vibrating rearview mirror effect when you really have it cranked up.

If you hit the menu button a few times it will show either "Driver's Seat" or "All Seats." Basically what it does on Driver's Seat is shoot the sound of all the speakers right at the driver's seat giving you a way better sound than if you had it set to All Seats. Even when I get people in the truck though, I don't change it to suit them.

For a factory installed system, the audiophile is a very good system for the money. Sure you could do better with aftermarket, but not for 600 bucks.

Man...I knew I was getting a better stereo system with the audiophile, but I didn't realize that it was set up with Boston Acoustic component speakers in the front.....that rocks No wonder it sounds so good! It is definetely worth the extra $$. That makes me wanna dance. What about the back speakers and the sub box...what are they?
