Stock X5 sound system - I want to upgrade!

[MADT]

I have an 06 X5 diesel with the basic stereo unit and TV/Nav dash unit.

Any suggestions on the best and most cost effective upgrade to improve my sound system????

I added a 12" sub to the truck and it makes all the difference in the world. Its a very simple way to change the entire sound of the stock system. I still have the stock radio.

second that comment....I added the JL audio amp and subwoofer package and it makes a huge difference to my non-dsp. To do it right, everyone says to go the BSW route (aside from doing a custom system)

[MADT]

Bsw don't do anything for a stock setup. So the sub option sounds good!! (excuse the pun)

Any suggestions on the nest way to go?

Ditto! changing the speakers & adding a sub (even an 8" sub) makes a world of difference

Anyone give some tips what to buy and how to do it? :-)

unless I'm (we're) talking about something different, you can upgrade your speakers. If you're talking about the head unit....then I dunno

Interested in adding a sub to the standard stereo system

You need to search the forum for more inof. Depending on what options you have there are different ways to hook the sub. Mine is a non-DSP and so hooking the sub was very easy. I will send you a picture of the set up and wiring. I bought the amp & sub and had the stereo shop wire it up for $100.00
It's not that difficult but at the time I was clueless.

Thanks. Mine is non DSP too and just consists of the factory speakers in the doors and under the front windscreen
