I'd find a shop with those Focal's and listen to them. They aren't anything special. I think that your ears can do better with a little more research. Kicker's key200 is pretty good. Just enough power and the autotuning works well. Concerning sound proofing, that is for you to decide...

How are you actively measuring impedance?

What amp and headunit? What budget for the front doors? rear doors? Otherwise all recommendations are BS. DSP's are <$300 with a few in the <$200 range. Marts has one on amazon for $160. And the NVS EQ is on sale for $99 on amazon, which looks like a clone to the Stetson EQ. There...

Depends on budget If it were mine, I'd use a 3.5" coaxial or 2.5-3.5 widebander in the dash. Best would be a midrange in the dash and some tweeters mounted somewhere I'd consider a quality 6x9, 8", or 6.5 in the front door, and a 6.5-8" for th rear door depending on what will fit...

Start here and run the 4ohm DVC parallel for a 2ohm load on amp. PartsExpress has it in stock. https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/1108/rss265ho-44-10-reference-ho-dvc-subwoofer-2-ohm For a little more, consider the Sony ES 10". With an addiction, will it ever stop? And, audio is an...

Is that the key500.1? Understand its power vs speaker impedance. Which kicker comp are you using? DVC or SVC? Don't confuse SQ with lower frequency response. There might be better SQ 2-ohm DVC subs to pick from. Budget might need to go higher.

Bridging f/r door speakers isn't half ***. Not all use the fader or have an unlimited budget. I don't know what "bare minimum" is. The amp has pretty good power at 4ohm. At two ohms, it should be more. And, if the a crossover is being used at the amp, it takes considerably less power to...

A parallel connection can be made at the speakers or at the amp. Since the OP is using 2 channels bridged to the subwoofer, he'll run his front/rear speakers in parallel.

Its not rocket science. If you have the powered sub, USE IT. If you find out that it isn't enough, then come back with a budget for your sub upgrade. Did you already replace the door speakers already? Since I am not a thumbing basshead annoying my neighbors, I find that the underseat...

Just tossing in bunches of speakers everywhere doesn't fix anything or even sound good I'd recommend you find a shop for a quality install recommendation and go from there. Custom made box for small subs behind the seat... you already have K2 in the doors.... no need for forward 5x7's...

Budget?

Hear? What someone hears depends on their ears. You can here a difference when numerous cheap amps self destruct with the volume turned up, and a quality amp keeps on running. Once you've dealt with warranty issues, or lack of support, you'd be willing to pay more. Alibaba amps, with some...

Quality costs money. JL is great stuff but not for the walmart shopper. That 400w-500w, unregulated and dependent on available voltage at the amp, obviously isn't enough for your intentions. I don't think it would be significant. I will assume that the sub is in a proper box, vehicle...

The capacitor on either is the bass blocker for the tweeter. Shouldn't be affecting anything else. Don't swap or add capacitors. The cap is spec'd for the tweeter. Without it, the tweeter simply blows. Get some door speakers to match, and enjoy your nightmare. BTW, will take 20hrs for...
