trust me it sounds a lot better to depending on which deck you get. alpine and pioneer are some good ones. I got a pioneer one blew out my stock speakers bc my car was old (94). no w/ aftermarket speakers it is so much better.

more power
able to change more settings than just bass/treble/fade

Even with stock speakers I think a new headunit makes a big difference
