Lastly- is there a single CD player available to replace the cassette player behind the nav unit? (Seems like BMW and Acura NS-X drivers were the only people still playing cassette tapes into the 21st century). Even using this input for an XM radio would work.
Thanks for any help. advice or experience. Not looking to drop $10K on my system, just get better sound while keeping the stock look.

no replacement for the cassette player unless you go aftermarket...as for the speakers, I have the "not so" premium sound package, and while the mids and highs sound pretty good to me when played from my CD changer, the subwoofers suck.(not nifty 8", only 2 6") I get more bass out of the speakers in the doors, which I don't think is what those speakers are suppose to do, so I just purchased the
Alpine PLV-7 (as long as the manager doesn't veto the deal I made with the salesman) for the low end. Getting it installed next week, so I'll let you know how it sounds (supposedly it bangs). BSW has a
subwoofer system for the X and JL is coming out with a stealth box soon, which will probably run about the same price as the the BSW set up after you buy the amp. Search "el duderino"'s posts, as I think he has some pretty good recommendations and advice. Or just go with the BSW stage 1...seems like a lot of people are happy with that upgrade.
