same ol HK question

I like some deep bumping bass in my music. nothing to shake the whole neighborhood but enough to enjoy privately in your car. Did I make a mistake in getting the HK upgrade. Is the rattling true? I REALLY don't want to mess with my car using aftermarket parts. Any opinions???

I found the radio is a weekness of the system. Going with an aftermarket radio would be a plus, but I havent personally seen a nice looking one. I kept the stock radio and added an EQ, amp and single 12 inch sub.

I would go with an aftermarket but I love the way the BMW deck looks. Aftermarket radios look really cheap with all the lights and stuff. The also totally ruin the smooth clean flow of the dashboard. I guess I am going to keep my H K upgrade. The subs do add some bass to it although not much. The spatializer just makes the sound more "surround" which is kinda cool but maybe not the oomph i was hoping for. Now does anyone know of any cool cd changers that hook up to the BMW radio ( I have a nav system) and fit in the glove?? I HATE trunk mounted cd changers because they are a pain in the a$$ to access for lazy people like me.

for the audio system, is it possible to add a sub and an amp of another brand w/o changing the deck?
and how good are the hk amps and subs(if any)?

You can run subs off your OEM deck with line out adapterd that give the oem radio RCA outputs. I did that and used a EQ for higher voltage go my amp.
