It hits for what it is imo. But, it does not hit like my micro JL audio sub enclosure. The micro enclosure is in my hatch consuming space in the 3.0, where the stealth frees up the hatch consuming zero space in 4.4. So there is a trade off of sound for space.

That said, if you think that the center channel made that much difference in the stock stereo, imagine what it would be like with even mediocre speaker and amplifier components!

No, I did not add a center channel. The system is still 2.0 HiFi. I added the following missing or underpowered frequencies of 20Hz - 200Hz.
In sound reproduction what sounds bad may actually be good, but incomplete. And that’s what the problem is with the factory DSP. There is plenty of high end frequency. The low end on the other hand is incomplete which creates inconsistent sound i.e. awful sound. You can’t look at it as just, oh he simply added a SUB. I added the missing frequencies, and then tuned them in completely recreating a new sound field. So if you were to hear it, it won’t sound like anything you heard before, because it’s not. It’s been reconstructed.
The factory DSP amp and speakers are more than sufficient. It goes loud enough with out distortion to be unhealthy for your ears. So imo, no need for upgrading. However, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a pristine pre LCI DSP amp! Also, I am intrigued by the fact it is a 8 ohm system, and not 4. Car audio is usually 4 ohms.
