IMO, the stock sound system is sufficient. Of course, this could mean many things to different people. There is an 'enhanced bass' option you can turn on, which adds a noticeable increase in bass. It will not replace an aftermarket sub/amp, which I had in a vehicle prior to my Forte. However, I haven't had any needs to install it - the vehicle's system works great for me. Haven't had the volume above level 22 - and haven't noticed any cracking/fuzz from the speakers. Shouldn't have any problems if you don't blast it constantly - but if you do that you're going to install an aftermarket system and amp it anyway, right?
