I have had the car for a whole week now and have decided that the HIFI audio could be improved. Having read dozens of threads and reviews of various products and options I now have a plan...

1) Focal IFBMW-S for the doors, flush install the tweeters into the non-HK sail covers, sound deadening while I'm in there
2) disconnect centre speaker
3) Technic ASD bypass harness or coding out
4) Earthquake SVS subs for the floor
Stop and evaluate
5) Focal ICU 100 for rears
Stop and evaluate
6) AMP upgrade (likely with DSP capability)

Focals are sensitive and I figure the low power stock amp needs all the help it can get. I can get them locally for a decent price and I like the idea of getting the tweeter up higher towards ear level and the tweeters look OK flush mounted.
Earthquake subs are a good price, I would prefer the Focal subs, but they are 3x the cost. There is a limit to how much money I want to throw at this thing.

I will report back on how it goes.
