H/K Spec as per info here and other web sites.

Speakers

8-speaker total in six positions around the car

new 5.25 woofer in the front doors also added mids and new tweeters to the current tweeter mounting location. New dual voice coil 6X9 in the STD location for the 6X9

Head unit

Must use a boost head unit, ie CD boost, MD boost or tape boost


Amp

Added an extnal amp located behind the RHS trim panel in the boot/truck area.

The amp has TEN channels (one to each speaker in the front doors ie woofer, mid and tweeter) the two channels to each 6X9 due to the fact they are dual voice coil speakers)

The amp will also have effects eg Festival, Instrumental, etc etc. (full list on the USA mini site). Also will have driver alignment feature as well. All of these effects are done using DSP technology. The amp will also take over the job of speed related volume from the head unit.

The power is 40W X10 channels not enough power to deafen or tell the whole world what you are listening to, but enough to over come the car and road noise. Remember the H/K is for low distortion and clarity not power.

If you do a search on here you will find some more info as I have only quoted the major points.
