Update: Now that I've had it for a few weeks, I thought I'd let you know that I've been pretty happy with this addition. I listen to an eclectic variety of music. For Jazzy sounds, it works very well with no distortion even at the loudest settings. For Rap/Hip-Hop, it holds its own...with some tunes, the bass holds up even at loud volumes, with others, not so well. So far, no regrets...plus I get to keep my trunk space.
