Whats best for aux integration and speaker upgrade? Let's hear it, this is happenin!

So I recently installed a stealth box into my 4.6is. It's great, now I wanna do the other speakers. I don't want to change my head unit so I was thinking bsw?
Also want to get full integration of aux and Bluetooth. I was thinking of grom audio for this issue.
What's the consensus? What's good, what's a waste? Again I want to keep my factory amp and head unit. Thanks in advance for opinions shared.

I put a set of Hybrid Audio Technologies Imagine 6.5 speakers up front in my X5. Running them off the stock DSP amp.

Fit was a challenge and I had to modify the baffle, but the sound is very good!

Let us know how your speakers work out.

well I have grom audio. Make sure you are getting a second generation as first generation mixes audio together. meaning in aux mode you would still hear USB playing. Okay with my grom I have usb, ipod and aux. plus I have the oem aux.
issues if you do the Bluetooth with grom then the factory Bluetooth becomes useless.
but they open the ability to have Bluetooth streaming. I went another route for that. Finally if you don't have an ipod. there is an ipod to aux adapter available on the web so then you could have 2 aux ins. The usb is limited to I think 2,000 songs for random play and it has killed 2 wd hardrives of mine in a 4 year period I had it. Some of my songs it glitched on but they do provide fixes and patches but for now I just happy with Bluetooth streaming.
