[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 102354, member: 84"] Leonard, Continuing from where Saat and the rest had left off .... let's look at what you have in hand. 1. HU - Alpine 9833 : one of the best mid end HU in the market. This will be a very good base to start on as it has plenty of features ( 3 sets of hi-volt pre-outs, 2 or 3-way x-overs, 6 channel T/A, sub level and phase control etc) and ready for future system expansion. BTW, the onboard 4 channel amp is sufficient to drive most speakers .. even better than some of those cap ayam amps. 2. Speakers - stock BMW speakers. Enuff said about them. Fragile and thinny sounding while lacking detail / definition. Adding an external amp may only result in a bit of improvement ... but the flaws will show in no time. And it won't help considering your HU is already delivering quality sound even without an amp. This is your weak link at the moment - use your budget to change the front speakers first. Leave the rears as it is as your next upgrade will be a small sub or a bass tube for the bass enhancement. 3. A 4 channel amp and a small sub or bass tube will complete the next stage of upgrade. Use 2 channels of the amp for the front speakers and the remaining to be bridged for the sub/tube. With proper installation and tuning ( make full use of all the functions on your HU ) and you'll have a system that is miles away from the stock system without breaking your bank. 4. Optional step .... START ALL OVER AGAIN !!!!! ** Sorry, aah *** Cheers, [/QUOTE]
