It has very little to do with if you want to mod the audio. More to do is it worth it, when the base system sounds better than the bose system and fuller that's a hint right off the bat that it's not worth it. It's a terrible system to say the least. IMO your going to want to at least upgrade the speakers in this weather you get the base or bose.

Sound is so subjective - no two people perceive sound in the same way - that it is not reasonable to say that any but the worst systems available today sound "terrible."

A car is one of the worst possible listening environments and no system available today will give true high-fidelity sound. Yes, most OEM systems are not as good as many of the after-market ones (assuming one makes the proper selection of components), but you still don't have high-fidelity. And few people want true hi-fi; it tends to sound rather "flat" to many people. The Bose system was designed to sound pleasant to most people ... but it's not the answer for everyone's ears. Just because a few people don't like the sound doesn't mean it's a "terrible" system.

Whether it be car audio, home audio, headphones, or whatever, get what sounds good to you.

PS: With the current state of electronics (most are very accurate at reasonable listening levels), the speakers/drivers will have the most effect on how a stereo sounds.

State-of-the-art audio in a noisy, two-seat sports car where your ears are closer to your rear wheels through an un-insulated fender than they are to your nearest stereo speaker? I can't imagine a bigger waste of money than that. Bose is certainly "good enough".

Very well stated...

Well said. At the very least, a lot pithier than my reply.
