So I just bought a mini...
Congrats and welcome. Hating the HK system is a new one I always thought it sounded much better that the stock audio system. You should be able to fetch a good price for the HK amplifier since they are notorious for going bad.
Yep, bone stock. 2006 S convertible (R52?). Grey w/ black stripes on the hood, black leather interior.
Funny that people like the sound of the HK. I think the bass is flubby and the midrange is pretty distorted. Good thoughts on the marketplace.
My first order of business will be to put a decent audio system in there. I'm thinking of the Alpine idx-305s w/ a nice set of component speakers up front and maybe a small sub in the back.
I'd consider modding for more power, but might wait until the warranty expires (got a great deal from the dealer w/ the extended coverage) unless there's something I can do that won't void it. Maybe a unichip or sprintbooster?
