So I Finished my "Minor" Audio upgrade

So i started off with a Mini Cooper 2010 S Basic Audio Package (if you want to call that piece of garbage a package)

I wanted somthing that I could enjoy. Im defentely not an Audiophile. My goal was to spend about 750 (the cost of the HK mini upgrade)

So i spent about $800 (about 250 of that was labor so im sure many of you could do it your self and save money)

I upgraded the front doors to Kicker DS650s (but i left the 4inchers disconnected)
I put Kicker DS6930s in the rear.
I powered it with a Kicker DX 200.4 Amp
I also added a Sound Storm DSS8 (same as the Boss600) Self contained Sub.

My overall impression is good. the mids and highs are really nice but the bass, while good enough for me, might leave some of you wanting.

The company that did it was Quality Audio Sound in Denver. the work was neat and clean but these guys are friggin relentless at trying to sell you everyting in the damn store.
