How many amps/channels are you considering? I have a 4 ch and the single for the BSW. I was thinking it would be plenty- just link the speakers from each side into the 4ch, but I could *see* adding an amp for mids since I am getting deef. Any thoughts based on your experience?

The sql setup I have that won so many sql events in the 90's uses a 3 channel approach.
Bass, mid-bass, high's.
This was done with a hifonics amp setup using the following.
600 watt true rms mono amp handling anything un 70 hz
400 watt true rms 4 channel amp with built in electronic cross over handling the rest.
mid was 70 hz to 5000 hz probably. I cant remember exactly.
and the rest was 5k hz to 20k hz
This drove 6 speakers.
Two 12" Kickers
Two 6 1/2 " kickers
Two infinity reference series dash speakers.
This was in a trans am. The t/a's unique interior shape made this system work. I have tried many times to replicate it in other vehicles with no luck. I always ended up having to use more speakers to come close.
I plan on replicating this one day in the X5.
So I will go with the JL Audio stealth sub for my low range bass.
I will do the mid bass using the current door speakers and use dash and tweet pods for the voice / highs.
I will need 3 amps to achieve this with the speaker setup the X uses.
One mono amp and two 4 channel amps with electronic cross overs built in. Then a real dsp unit to handle the sound curve and ambience effects I want.
I'm with you on the speaker wiring. No more power than will be going to the door speakers I cant see much of a point redoing them.
The fun part will be hiding all of the amps. I am hoping since I removed everything from the drivers side hatch compartment that I can get it all in there with some fans to keep it from melting.
