If you have the base audio, upgrading speakers won't make it any better and will likely make it worse. It's insanely underpowered, lacks speaker locations, and has a weird EQ curve to compensate for the garbage speakers.

I didn't click on each of ctuna's threads but there really are a ton of audio threads on here. If you want decent sound, you NEED to recode to hifi and start from scratch with a good amp and decent speakers.

FWIW, I have the Bimmertech amp and I'm not impressed at all with it.

Something like a JL XD600/6 and some MBQuart or used EPS or L7 speakers would be a good budget upgrade. Anything cheaper than that will probably not get you where you want to be.
