Standard: 6 speaker system, not impressive /// HiFi sound system, 10 speakers and 160W amp, pretty decent sound
Upgrade 1: HiFi sound system (10 speakers) /// Logic 7, 13 speakers with DSP
Upgrade 2: Logic 7, 13 speakers + DSP /// No further upgrade possible
Upgrade 3: Individual audio (enhanced Logic 7) /// No further upgrade possible
Coming back to your question: You may want to order the plastic brackets for under your front seat so you can mount bigger and better woofers. However, you'll still have the default car audio amps (BMW HiFi and better normally have the amp in the trunk).

So if I would like to improve the quality of my standard stereo , then my first step can be to change my front door speakers from stock one to 4" Focal 100KP and add 2 channel amp for it~ For underseat woofers can keep in default speakers with default amp , no need add the 4 channel amp , right ? And I would like to ask if you have any suggestion about the amp ? I prefer " GENESIS PROFILE TWO " or " STEG QM75.2 " ... which one will be better ???
