BSW speaker upgrade and subwoofer kit
 

This is no doubt old news to some of you, but I wanted to tell everyone I had the BSW Stage 1 speaker upgrade and their x108 Subwoofer system installed today in my non-DSP, non-NAV 2003 4.4i X5.

It's awesome! I was absolutely, completely, and totally blown away at how frickin' outstanding the improvement is! I can hear notes and music I never heard before, even on my home stereo. Totally worth every cent, and completely makes my driving experience that much better. I am literally blown away.

I use a pro installer company to put in this kind of thing. He and his staff were totally pleased with the ease of installation, the completeness of the instructions, and how well it all worked together. This company deals with all brands of equipment and models of vehicles, and they said this was one of the best aftermarket designs they've seen.

Once again, my thanks to the pros at BSW for their great stuff. I continue to be impressed with them, and I'm a very satisfied customer.

:iagree: The BSW speaker upgrade rocks!

my main question is can I add an aftermarket amp to the BSW speaker upgrade, or do I have to install the external cross overs that come with either the rainbow speakers or the MB quarts

i've installed the bsw sub and enclosure + amp, had the new dice silverline ipod installed last week and i'm impressed each time with the improvement in sound. i'll be getting the full speaker upgrade next...i can hardly wait for the next big improvement. :thumbup:

Don't forget the spec dock.

Bump on the question of aftermarket amp

I just got the speaker upgrade, the sub, Dice with speck dock in this week. Can't wait to install it next week.

don't need the spec dock. i wanted it but now that the ipod is hidden in the console bucket, i like it there. i can't use the controls on the ipod so it doesn't need to be displayed in a docking cradle.

I went with the stock BSW kits, so the only extra amp was with the subwoofer. These speakers are so good, I think an amp would be overkill. Whether it CAN be added? No idea. But I sure like what I have now, and it's miles ahead of what was in there before.

Yes you CAN add an amplifier...

Top Secret Information was leaked tha a BSW "stage 2" amplifier is soon to be released for both DSP and Non-DSP equipped vehicles with Stage 1.

Rumor mill says it will be plug and play.

That is what I wanted to hear. That totally changes my choice, and spending
