[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8002024, member: 644168"] Forget about power ratings when you're looking at SQ comps; they won't tell you much of anything regarding how they sound. For example, look on CDT's website for how they rate their power on the HD series comps. Notice the @120Hz addition to that rating? Imagine what they can [I]actually[/I] do at a more realistic 100 or even 80Hz. That being said, Focal's always been known as being "lively," which to me is just a fancy way of saying shrill and bright. You're either going to have to go active and lift the crossover point on the tweeter or EQ the living hel[COLOR=black]l[/COLOR] out of them to remove that if the install location isn't ideal.
