What kind of stereo upgrades do you have?

Whatsup folks, I have been doing tons of research trying to make the best educated decisions regarding upgrading the stereo in my 2010 G37 Sedan.

Lets start with the basics. I have the Bose stereo with the Navigation. I also have 1 JL 12w3 and an Alpine PDX-V9 that I was using in my old car that I would like to reuse in my G.

I have been looking at DSPs and I am leaning towards the Bit 1 but could be swayed to a 3sixty.3 if someone had a good argument.

I am having a personal dilemma regarding replacing the front end components, cant really decide between Hertz, Audison, Focal, and so on.

So for ish and giggles, I was wonder what some of you guys have done to make the sounds in your Gs just as pleasant as the drive.

I use a Audison Bit Ten D.
The BTD is being fed signal from my Nexus 7 in the dash. The Nexus 7 is sending signal to the BTD via a DAC. Optical cable connection.
The BTD is feeding a NVX JAD 900.5

The NVX is powering a pair of CDT ES-6 mids, LPG NFA25 tweets, and a JL 10" W6.
The Doors are deadened. The sub is in a 1.0 cube sealed enclosure.

CDT is an SQ (sound quality based company).

I have been using all type of CDT mids and tweeters for over 10 years.

I liked the ES series because they provide excellent mid bass without having to build an enclosure in your door.
