Critique my System

[puzz_1]

Hi all. I am looking for a good SQ system for my Chevy Suburban. Here is what I am thinking of getting (all from cutchfield)

Focal k2 165KR Components front ($699 pair)

Focal Access Coaxial rear ($250 pair)

JL 10w3v3 Subwoofer ($239)

JL 600/1 Amp ($399)

JL 400/4 for my front components and rear coax ($399)

What do you guys think? The total cost is around $2200 with all the cables etc. I will do the install myself as I've done it before on my previous car. I've heard the Focals and I really like the speakers.

I would really like to hear the focal components. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Don't buy that shit from Crutchfield...

You should also think about buying a sub and mono amp with a little more balls.

you'll be satisfied with your system but you are going to feel very empty in the wallet.

If he'd buy elsewhere, he'd probably have the cash to upgrade to a W7 and 1000/1.

I am definitely very skeptical of spending so much money. Anybody else have these Focal comps? Is there a HUGE difference between these and the $299 Focal Access speakers ??

Here's a little something to think about.

500/1 & 300/4 from Crutchfield = $1,160

1000/1 & 300/4 from sellers found with a simple google search = $980

...and

Focal comps & coaxials from Crutchfield = $950

Focal comps & coaxials found with google search = $620

If you avoid Crutchfield you can upgrade to the 1000/1 & a W7, and still save a few bucks. Crutchfield = teh ****.

probably? he'd have the cash to get all that and get a few tanks of gas to cruise around and enjoy it.

Yup, buying the equipment from Crutchfield would be retarded.

If I was going to buy JL stuff, I would 100% be looking at used.

If I was going to buy JL stuff, I would 100% be looking at Hertz instead. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
