What gets me the most bang for the buck?

Hey Guys I have the stereo hi-fi set up in a 2011 328ix. What are some simple tweaks, changes or additions that would most dramatically improve overall sound quality? I like the concert hall effect were you feel immersed in the music, surrounded by it, not like the music is being played at me. I'm a newb but can follow directions and welcome your input.

Bimmertech amp/dsp. It is tuned to have a defined sound stage (music coming "at you" from the dash) but you can change the settings to diffuse the effect. You could also get a JL XD600/6 amp with Technic harness, which pretty much just amplifies the signals going to the speakers. Cleaner, louder sound with crappy OEM soundstage, which is what you may be looking for LOL.

After you take care of the amp/dsp

After you take care of the amp/dsp
which is the weakest link its also a good idea
to at least replace all the front speakers with some
better ones.
There are quite a few kits for this bimmertech has
tunes for some of them that go along with the Helix 82dsp.
Depending on how far you want to go there also some
more powerful models of the Helix amp/dsp which would
be more awsome but would definatly need better speakers
to handle the power. See 6spdcoupe at Unexpected Creations.
