thats not entirely correct.  In numerous factory systems the difference is that the factory system when upgraded has an amp that powers the speakers rather then just using deck power.  Take the monsoon system used in GM and VW for example.  Some guys have had success in Sound Quality stereo competitions by keeping the factory midbass because it performed so well.  In the end it all depends on your expectations and what you'd like under warranty, say for instance you install an aftermarket system and fry your electrical system which isn't too likely but anything is a possibility.
