I dont know how much it costs now, but in my 04 it was around a $500 option. I think for the money, it will not be easy to beat. Sure, you can put things in that sound better. No matter what you put in, there is always something better. It all comes down to how much money you are willing to spend.
For the price, it cant be beat though.

Premium 6-CD W/MP3
So, in my 07 Lariat Super Crew I have the Premium 6-CD W/MP3 capability (not an audiphile). I see MP3 functions and lables all over the HU which I have loaded with 6 CDs. I have no subwoofer installed (though I want one). I don't see any tweeters in the front doors.
Am I probably right that:
1. The doors contain four cheap speakers?
2. The subwoofer wiring is already ran through the cab (tucked away)?
3. The HU does NOT have the sub outputs?
One of the salesmen that sold me my truck said he would let me have his subwoofer out of his audiophile setup for $100. But, he didn't mention anything about the wiring or the HU sub output---as though it would already be in mine.
I might have to tear this thing open unless anyone of you can set me straight first.

Appears to be a bit shorter, doesn't go as far over the center hump. But holds a 10 inch sub. Going with a 140 watt amp, probably will be mounted on the hump. (any suggestions?) $230 for the box. I think I got a deal on the Memphis sub and amp for $160. Have the appt. next Fri. Have to let you know how it sounds.

The audio system
The audiophile sound system in the F-150 was designed and enhanced in Visteon's sound management laboratory in Dearborn, Mich. Visteon's engineers ensure the audio system performs to specific levels, given the materials and design of the interior.

It is the same radio in my focus audiophile as it is in my truck... explain that one. Just some feature differences but all the same buttons and looks. Go to the visteon web sight and it shows the only 6 disk ford radio they make....

the parts manufacturers for the auto companies still have SOME dignity. Visteon is not going to make a radio that component wise will interchange with a sony radio. You admit that the focus has the sony radio. I have a focus with the audiophile unit, and a 2007 F-150 with the audiophile system sitting right next to each other in the driveway. They are basicly the same radio. Some stenseling on the function of a couple of buttons are different. That is all. Trust me.. I wish my radio was a visteon. I HATE sony electronics. I had a audiophile system in my 2003 focus that WAS made by visteon. I liked it MUCH better than the sony crap.
