My car has the M audio, but I've never done compared it to one without. In addition to the "subwoofers" (they're really just woofers), it also has various DSP modes (concert hall, jazz club, etc.) and supposedly upgraded drivers in the front.
I haven't had much time to play with the audio settings on mine yet, but so far the sound is really mediocre, which is really bad for what's supposed to be the premium set up. I may not be the best barometer for these things as I'm a bit of an audiophile with respect to home audio, but to my ears the stereo in my M5 sounds much worse than the stock stereo's in any of my other cars.

jlindy said:Since I have never listened to the M5 stereo with or without M audio, how much of a difference does the M audio actually make and what makes it different from the regular set up? Is it just another subwoofer in the back? Is the stock stereo that bad with the M audio? (I don't need it bumping, but I just need decent stock sound like on most quality new cars these days)
