Hi all, I'm embarking on an audio build on this vehicle, SQ is my primary purpose. This vehicle features 4" speakers in both sets of doors and the rear deck, as well as tweeters in the front doors and rear deck, then 8" factory subs under each front seat. While doing some research I found an...

Hey folks, I'm getting ready to start upgrading and doing a complete audio build on an '06 BMW M5. I'll be using the existing factory head unit as this is one of those cars where you really can't swap that out. Here's what I understand, feel free to correct me where/if I'm wrong: The factory...
