in general you will have a better sound with a high end deck, the speakers will add a lot and then an amp will add even more

yeah i have the premier 740MP and it is fine they make a good deck. the Mp3 section sux though so i sold it to my friend so i can try Alpine. anyways when you get your deck put it in and turn the HPF on to 125. this will take all the lows out of your stock spkrs and they will sound much better cause they won't be cracking tryin to play the low notes. so they can play louder and cleaner now. then you have a sub output so you can control whatever amp you buy and adjust the bass just to your subs while leaving the othere spkrs alone. So yes put that thing in and enjoy....

well the more songs you have the slower this whole deal happens. See first it has to read the disk. takes like 20 seconds in the begining. well thats no big deal ya know but... then in between EVERY dang song it takes close to 5 seconds or longer. and when u want to skip through tracks to look for something it takes 5 seconds to get the title to come up. So it takes 4 ever to find stuff. So i think it SUX!! it shouldn't be that slow. but you will see when u try it out.

adding subs are not going to make difference in sound quality, just gives you a more frequency range, if you want clean sound, you should upgrade the interior speakers first, and also power them with a 4 channel amp, and then consider subs and what not
