Warren -> RE: Value of the Premium Sport Package on the 06 GT (11/11/2005 11:38:45 PM)
|
I purchased the 2006 GT with the sports pack. I personally feel it was well worth it. I figure if you are going to spend that much money on a good looking car you might as well go all the way. However, it's not for everyone.
The Rockford Fosgate system sucks ass in my opinion. It might sound good to your average listener or someone who has always had a crappy factory deck but it really blows for anyone who likes loud, clear music. I knew when I purchased the sport pack that the system was going. I'm not saying that I am one of those guys into putting 20 subs in a car but I do like my music to be loud, bangin and clear. I found the Fosgate system really strained when pushed at all. I just finished putting two 12 inch Phoenix Gold subs in the car and removing the Fosgate 10 inch. I also replaced the six speakers in the car with JBL speakers. I have one amp running the highs and one amp running the two subs. Like anything, depending on the money you are willing to spend, you can go pretty cheap and get a decent sound or you can go crazy and wake the dead. I choose to go in between and I am quite happy. There is lots of bass (thank you hatch back) but the sound is well rounded with piercing highs. I have a really nice Panasonic deck I wanted to put in the car but I had to stick with the factory Fosgate deck because there is no kit available to change out the deck. The only good thing about the Fosgate deck is that it has a six disc MP3 player. The drawbacks include: 1) no cool visual display 2) the song titles and artists are not displayed so you always have to be referring to the CD cover which sucks when it's an MP3 CD and your driving 3) The deck keeps time on individual tracks of a CD but if you have a one hour music set it does not display whether you are at 5 minutes or 50 minutes into the set. This is the case even when you start fast forwarding or rewinding. 4) You have to be very careful that you wait patiently when you load and eject CD's. If you try to speed up the process, the turntable becomes misaligned. I'm not sure if this is what I did but I already had the table misalign which gives you an E3 message. I had to wait weeks for a new CD player from the factory before they could change it out with a new one.
