I just bought a new Saturn Vue last night and I'm a little dissappointed in the sound quality. I have the upgraded radio with a 6 disc changer, XM radio, and MP3 audio jack. Everything works great and it's really convenient. However, the speakers don't have the clarity I was hoping for. The highs and lows aren't as crisp as I thought they would be. Would putting in after-market speakers help with the overall sound quality? I don't want to change anything with the head unit. I like the way it looks and functions. Any suggestions?

Certainly a speaker upgrade would improve performance. However, there is considerable work involved in installation of such speakers, since they are located in the doors and top of instrument panel. If you intend to do this yourself, insure that any new speakers chosen do not exceed the amperage output of your radio unit. If they do, you would also need to install an accessory amplifier to handle the power requirements.
Head to BestBuy or similar for further advice and estimates.

Yes, putting in aftermarket speakers would most likely help with overall sound quality.
If your purchase your speakers through crutchfield.com, they include at no charge - the instructions to remove/install the speakers, the matching speaker plugs (so you don't have to cut off the factory plugs - a BIG benefit when you go to reinstall the factory speakers to sell it later). They can also tell you if you have an amp or not in that car & what speakers would work best for your setup.
Do the install yourself & save some moolah ! Plus you can take pride in the fact that you did it yourself.
