The comps were getting 125 rms per, and the sub was getting 500 rms. I am debating wether or not to install all of that equipment in the X5. Judging from my eyeball measurements I would say I have a 50/50 chance of getting my CDT's in the stock housings. The tweeters fit perfectly.
I really think the stock system gets loud enough for my taste. I would consider replacing all stock speakers and retaining the stock amp, but I want to maintain the current output. I will eventually replace my 12 with a single sub in one of the "stealth" spots.
Sorry for the long post...

I just went with the BSW Stage 1 setup and I'm very happy with the outcome.
I too was considering putting my high end amps and speakers into the X. I also thought the volume was "enough" and that all I wanted to do was clean up the sound accross the board.
The stage 1 does just that. The only thing she lacks (and they told me it would, and I figured it would) is bass because I was keeping my stock sub and amp.
The bass is tighter with the smaller mids and I found more detail and clearer seperation.
I also picked up the DICE IPOD adapter and Sirius kit. Their customer service is very good too. Every time I called with a question they gave the exact answer quickly.
I would give them a try.
