UPDATE Well, I'm eating my words. I had been doing a lot of research on how to access door panels and dash for speaker changes (no information out there, btw) and ran across a comment on how the system doesn't sound as good with the satellite signal. (not cd quality) So I put in a cd and wow.....the Alpine system came alive!!! So I guess I have no complaints about the Alpine system now.

I just bought a 2013 Journey R/T and it has the Alpine system. What a disappointment! I was expecting a decent system and this is one of the worst I've listened to. I should have payed attention to it more when I bought the vehicle. The bass is alright for me since I listen to classic rock, acoustic, etc., but there are no highs whatsoever and the midrange is very muddy. I am planning on starting with replacing the front 3.5's with some quality aftermarket speakers. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I see from previous posts that this system is not very good. It's a shame because it puts a bad mark on an otherwise pleasant vehicle. The vehicle sticker lists the system as coming with 6 "Premium" speakers, but I would challenge that. Any other insight would be appreciated.
