That's a nice clean set-up but seems a little pricey. I noticed that my 2012 Fiesta SE had better sound quality and bass than the ST. Does anyone else notice this? Even with the bass setting cranked up, the speakers just aren't able to produce the same bass as the SE.

I notice that! My 2011 had better sound than my ST. Strange as we have more wattage, a Sony stereo, and 2 more speakers.
