Default want to upgrade speakers, add a sub - so don't get b&o?

does anyone know any details about how the control unit interfaces with the amps/speakers on the stock and b&o systems?

i'd like to put some decent components in and a JL 10" sub in the trunk.

does the control unit have standard preouts? does the unit change at all with the b&o system or is it simply the speakers/amps that change?

Default The B&O System uses a different amplifier, I haven't checked but it's possible that...

...even the door panels and wiring is different besides the actual speakers.

any idea if the connection between the head unit and amplifier is a standard preout?

Depends, most likely to be part of the optical (MOST) databus on US models.
