I found out asking locals who owned X5's that most had never used custom mode on the DSP and tuned the room size, echo level, and each individual frequency on the fully independent EQ.

It wouldn't hurt to add a small ten or 12 in the back for lower fill, but if the DSP os set right the dual 6.5's actually produce nice fill.

I've owned several car audio stores I can tell you that it WILL sound good with proper tuning.
Proper tuning can make it sound better than some of the presets, but really, I would never say it sounded "great"

I don't know how someone in the industry could even begin to like the factory DSP system... imo it is decent enough to get you home from the dealership, and then to the audio shop the next morning.
