I guess this is a perspective thing, but in my experience, it's basically impossible for a stealthbox to hit hard. It's not what they're built for.

I agree. The 01/2002 E53 DSP was completely unenjoyable from the moment I fired up the sound system. I tried every tune possible to get it sounding something other than ear cringing. I finally found a frequency that was at least tolerable, but the moment you went to crank it up, bleh!
I pretty much tolerated it for 2 decades only because, my E53’s running ambient sound is music in itself. So I pretty much kept the system off, or background noise.
When I added the 13th channel that changed everything! And as a byproduct of all the not hours, years of trying to tune that darn thing, when I gained access to the systems missing frequencies I was able to bring it all together and create a solid sound field. It’s the reverb that takes it to another level and brings it to a studio quality sound.
Everything is custom tuned. The reverberation, the EQ, the 13th channel’s crossover frequency, low frequency boost, gain, and even the fader. All of it is tuned to create a balanced sound. The bass control on the MID is more or less has been converted into a SUB gain control.
Like I said I went in not knowing what to expect, and was completely blown away. The 2006 CD unit with the AUX input is a cherry on top!

Are you talking about adding a center channel? I'll agree that a center channel is key to the best sound in a real world automotive stereo.
That said, if you think that the center channel made that much difference in the stock stereo, imagine what it would be like with even mediocre speaker and amplifier components!
