Thanks
Had a friend do the install. I think the premium sound is a 12-speaker system. This upgrade was just a 8 speaker upgrade (2 pairs of separates - front and back).

Speaker sets (for both) I got cost about $1,000.00, so the premium sound might be a good option. I just got the focal coz I put Focals in all my cars.

What's important is you get clearer highs, which the stock system (well, in the Philippines, anyway) just doesn't have any of.

But all in all, unless you have a good audio shop who can do the install for you, I'd go with the premium sound option.

Hope this helps.
