What I, and I know several other forum members, are waiting on is for BSW to release their Stage 2 upgrade (i.e., replacement for the stock HiFi amp). That should really make the Stage 1's come alive...as for right now they're running off of the 10-15W RMS that the stock amp is likely giving out.

So...a night and day change? Not really. But a marked improvement? Definitely.
Ahh so you did the stage 1 upgrade with no amp upgrade?? yah that would be a little difference but you gotta upgrade that amp!!!! If I was to be doing the stage 1 bsw kit I would be doing it with a JL audio XD600/6 with technic's harness.

I would be doing

2- Earth Quake SWS-8xi 8" subs (with jtsherri spacers)
Jl Audio XD600/6 (with Technic Harness)
Stage 1 BSW kit;
4 Mid Drivers- 1 Each Front Door, 2 Rear shelf
4 Tweeters - 1 Each Front Door, 2 Rear shelf

How do you guys think my setup would sound? L7 comparable?
