My Ride: 08' 535i Black on Black, bamboo trim, sport tranny w shift paddles. ACS trunk and roof spoiler, LED liscence plate light. Complete sound system upgeade. Also a 10" sub
01" 325I 4 door Blue on Black, auto with sports package. Painted door moldings, LED tail lights, M style deck lid
Michael did a full system in my 08 535i which had the standard hi-fi stereo. The mids and highs sound crispy and clear as well as a clean bass. I have been enjoying the system, as do all my passengers as well. He showed me ways to get the quality sound I wanted as well as keeping it in my budget. I'm very satisfied with the system and also very very satisfied with the quality of work that he has done 
. I've had my fair share of problems with these so called stereo shops. They want you in and out and just wanna sell you something, aslo not to mention sloppy work. It was not easy finding someone to install a system in my car, especially with the past experiences I had. Not only that, these cars are very delicate to work on. I didnt even want a system at first cause I didnt want problems, but when I seen Micheals quality of work I knew things were gonna be good. I am very happy with my sysem! Here are a few pics enjoy!

I was thinking the same thing. I would've been interested in buying the underseat box if it was available for sale. I would love to throw something with more quality and power under my seat than the SWS 8's. It would be nice if it was made out of glass too.

They sound awsome and get the tight bass I've been looking for.

My Ride: 06' 530 Alpine/Auburn/Dark walnut, Sport, Premium, Sirius, 35% Tint
Upcomming mods: M166's/Exclaim UHP's, Mtech
Regarding the standard system, if I swap out the door midrange and tweeters, and rear deck speakers, as well as adding the center stage speakers, how much power should the new amp put out? 250w? Also, how do I wire it up?
