86dsp has one more channel which means you could
go active on the front doors.

BMW7 has more power especially for the under seats.

I think they both give you a tune and some sort of mounting hardware.
To get more out of it you will need new speakers or the Front doors
and floors. The biggest problem I have with bavsound is they don't list
the power rating on there speaker or at least this use to be true.

You might want to get quote from Unexpected Creations for the same stuff.

The helix match speaker set for the fronts is a more reasonably priced set
for the fronts. Than offered by bavsound or bimmertech I believe.
Thanks for all the detailed info. Yeah, prices kinda high, the main point for me was easy swap, but at this price I might just go to the sound shop so they will do everything for me with their speakers but I'm just afraid they gonna put some noname brand speakers that I never heard of.
Buy a set of BMW Individual Audio speakers off eBay and take them into the shop. Also, get some sound deadening material as well. The IA speakers are top shelf and will fit. It's really hard to beat the quality of the BMW IA speakers for the money. The only thing I'd probably at some point is ditch the BMW IA under the seat subs and get a better option that is more "mid-bass" oriented.

Just make sure the set comes with the special cross over & harness for the front door speakers.

As far as a better amp, the helix is a great option. A little pricey but for plug & play it's hard to beat.
