Default S2000 Sound System

My brother has a 325Ci with Harmon Kardon sound system.
And every time I stop beside him, he cranks up the music !!
Does anyone know what kind of sound system I should get to make him stop?

Ask him how much he put as a down payment for his car. Then ask him what kind of rate he got on his loan and if he pays it monthly or bi-monthly. Then ask him how much his monthly is and how much he pays for insurance.

That should make him stop.

Before deciding to buy a S2000, I looked extensively at the 3-series and almost bought one. Personally, I thought the Harmon Kardon system was pretty crappy (try turning up the bass) considering the $600+ price.

Alright...first I'll suggest doing what I said previously...don't forget to let us know the results

Then, if that doesn't work coming out to one of our meets to determine how far you wanna go along the car audio spectrum. Some of us have just added rears powered by the stock deck, some have just switched out the deck/fronts, and some have gone all-out w/amps, subs and the like....

Listen to figure out how much you think you need, determine a budget and then go from there.

It's very easy to respond to a question like "Which rear speakers should I put in?" or "What are some good 8-inch subs" but it's much harder to respond to a question like "How can I improve my system?"

BTW...what does the HK stereo consist of?
