$2,000 - $3,000 Budget for Awesome Sound for my BMW M3. .... Help Please

Hi guys,

So, seems like there is a ton of info on home theater sound but not that much on Car Audio.

I am looking to do this once and if I ever change cars to be able to reuse most of the set up.

Anyway .... stock sound ***** even in BMW M3,. We know that. I value quality of sound, crisp, detail and a accurate punch. Not looking to blow the roof off my car or make others hear my bass 3 blocks away.

I listen to dance, pop, jazz, etc.

I have 2-3K to spend on good speakers, sub, amp, etc.

What do you guys suggest?
is there a website where they sell high quality car audio gear?

I suggest you do a solid 3 way active front stage (may require some modification on vehicle), followed by a good sub stage. I think your budget is well withing that.
