I think you get a "decent" system for what you pay for. I think Honda's main goal was to make a good sounding system that would last. A system that wouldn't blow it's speakers up if pushed up to "40."

I've turned the EX system up and it stayed relatively clear, not extremely loud though. I don't think it would blow even if you left it up that loud for an hour.

Honda probably wants to make sure that the system runs as long as the car will last - forever? I know it would suck for me if I had 200k miles on my car but my speakers only lasted 30k.

I added an Elemental Designs 9kv2 ("8" woofer) in a sealed box and a Elemental nine4 amp, pushing about 200 watts. Despite the decent interior speakers the civic needed the sub frequencies badly.
