    What size focals for me? Help.

    I see.... I just don't want to be wasting money on 6.5" components when the 5.25" will work just fine for the amp I have....... Is there something wrong with the 5.25" components? Would I be disappointed with them? They should be a huge upgrade over the Bostons I have.....
