Hi, I recently got my hands on a brand new set of Focal K3Ps. According to the Focal dealer, since the set comes with four 6.5 inch speakers, I could try to pull a fast one and install the tweeter and midrange in the front, and throw the bass woofers in the back. The set is to be installed in a...

Hi, I'm about to buy a set of Focal K3Ps for a killer price - $700... I need to choose an amp to get them to sound right. So far, the choices are: Alpine PDX2.150 - this is a good amplifier, but I hear it's not on the level with K3Ps JL 300/2v2 - This is supposed to be a BETTER amp Audison...

Got a sweet offer from the Focal dealer - brand new k3p's for $700... Dealer suggested that I put the tweeter and midrange in the front doors and the bass components in the rear. It's cheating, but I suppose I could get away with it, right??? Now, I would need a 2 channel amp with that... trying...

in any case... 165CA1 - Focal 6.5" 2 Way Coaxial Speakers are $100 cheaper than CVX. maybe it makes more sense to throw them in the rear

Actually... If I were to stick with a $700-750 budget for the front, I would probably get Esotec System 242 GT - Dynaudio 6.5" 2 Way Component Speakers. They are supposed to me more accurate than focals for the price

Sounds tempting... I'm still learining about car audio, so I figured I'd need matching speakers in the back. 165CVX are Polyglass. My car is a coupe, so obviously no one really cares about what's in the rear. Nevertheless, I have garbage Pioneer 6.5 in the rear right now. The focal amp will...

forgot to mention - i have an '09 accord... that's why I'm reluctant to cut...

that's not a bad idea... then I would have to cut the a-pillars, which could easily be replaced from the junkyard!!! Thanks!! What do you think about the prices? VR is around $400, VR3 should be in the vicinity of $700... sonicelectronix has them for $400, but obviously they are not in stock...

Hi, I'm about to redo my audio setup. I chose to stick with Focals because of their famed quality and because they are actually made in France, versus stuff like DLS which is Swedish but is made in China or Taiwan. I'm considering either 165VR or 165VR3 for front sound stage. Would VR3 be a...

Hi, I have a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L with Premium Sound and I want to get rid of this garbage. The last budget upgrade I did on this car resulted in a crapload of money wasted on pioneer components. Yuck! OK, I'm not planning to go TOO crazy with this, but here is the following list of...

correction - with DLS 6.3i i should be able to get away with kicker zx350.4
