    The problem with unnecessarily large payouts is that the insurance companies need to recoup the loss and have to charge everyone more. We all end up paying for that.

    That is an Audison bit one audio processor, and an Audison multi channel amp (can't tell from the video witch one) it's absolutely aftermarket equipment, it's a high end processor designed to take the signal from the factory radio, adjust and allow tuning to send to a amplifier. More than likely, it has some high-end speakers and possibly an added subwoofer. It's absolutely better than the OEM sound system, just like performance parts and tune can provide more hp, that audio equipment can absolutely outperform the stock setup. Most of what people think is good OEM audio isn't any good to an audiophile, and it will show on test equipment compared to aftermarket
