Quick question is it easy to upgrade the stereo on a r53 cooper s or gp and if so can someone give mr and idea on options and can it also be done retaining the hk upgraded?

Going back a long while I had a Cooper S that I had a few stereo mods done to. Personally I found the HK kit to be utter rubbish. Sorry, that's just me. The whole lot was ripped out and replaced with...

McIntosh MX406
2 x Genesis dual Monos
2 x 6x9 Genesis subs
2 x Mcintosh component speakers

The whole lot was installed by the Sound Gallery in High Wycombe. Their car audio bit has been bought and taken on by a couple of ex Sound Gallery employees and is now called 'unique integrations' I think.

They're a good starting point IMHO.
