    All,

    Have had the car for a little over 2 weeks and would like to improve the sound. I talked to the service manager at a local dealership about aftermarket speakers and he gave me a "look". Like, um well if you want more sound just push that skinny petal to the carpet. Lol. Well I'm not looking for a 15 inch sub in the front trunk but I would like to upgrade the base speaker components and possibly put in an amp to power some better speakers for longer drives. Any suggestions? I would also be interested in a low profile sub (I also have a ford raptor with a low profile 8" sub that sounds perfect). Thanks!

    www.scuderiaaudio.com sells some nice OEM looking subs. The owner Mike is also working on a full kit for the 458 which will include the sub, individual speakers and amp.

    what's wrong with the stock stereo? they are much better than 430/360 and plenty fine for music.

    Mine came with the upgraded stereo. Hard to hear with the top down due to glorious exhaust sound. With the top up and windows closed it sounds good... Not the best I have ever heard either.

    You know that to adjust the sound you have to hold down the middle menu button to get the menu.

    The stock stereo as well as the h-fi stereo options from Ferrari are both jokes. I'v had them both, and you could get better sounds from a Honda Civic. Go aftermarket.
