I just replaced the system in my r53.
-dvd head unit from wallyworld
-polk 6 1/2 coax (db series)
-polk 6x9 (db series)
-crossfire 2ch 300 watt amp

I mounted the amp under the passenger seat and removed the h/k grills in the doors to mount the 6 1/2's. I am very impressed with the sound quality. the bass is tight and clean. not boomy like the h/k speakers. the mid range is awesome and the highs are nice and crisp. I have put polks in almost every car i have owned.
installing everything was a pain. i had to remove the rear seats, the passenger seat and also the door panels.

@yetti96 its brand new with just a stock audio sytem in it and im tired of cheap factory sound.

@OKCdancer does the integral audio system include door speakers and back seat speakers or is it just the amp and the sub. BTW, i like how the sub and amp are hidden
