I actually enjoy the sound of the factory system and with the addition of my 10" sub it is impressively simple and sounds pretty darn good. Mieneis the factory hi-fi no DSP, no NAV as well.

Agreed. The stock 10-speaker non-DSP system is actually pretty good, just lacking bass. The amp & sub was one of the very first mod that I did to the car and it still sounds phenomenal after 16 years! A 10" sub is all you need in our cars since it sits in an open cabin.



Upgrading speakers with the stock amp is a tricky task since BMW uses non-standard impedance speakers.
