Upgrade audio GONG sound?

Hi, im about to buy a F31. I love music in good quality and are almost sure i will upgrade amp and speakers.

I understand that there are three levels.
Standard
HIFI
Harman/Kardon

Which of these kits should I try to get? i want to upgrade audio and it to be reversable to original.

I got some good amps and a audison Bit one processor to put in the car if needed.

I believe HIFI kit is the most practical, but im afraid the GONG sound becomes unbearable if I upgrade the amp to more powerfull ones.

Someone with experience? gratefull for all the help I can get

There are more expert people on here, but from what I recall many saying, the standard hifi is the easiest to upgrade.

Hi again,

Purchased car: Bmw f31 320D xDrive A 2013 with standard hifi.

Time to learn as much as possible here in the forum and start planning.
Anyone got some reading tips?

Yes it can be adjusted separatly, but im pretty sure that if i put in a larger amp, speakers will play louder at the same volume, and the same for the Gong. It may not be a problem but it's good to be prepared

I have an amp in my car
you are right , the gong sound is pretty unbearably loud.

luckily i have NBT and i switched it to the rolls royce harp tone simply because it is easier on my ears.
