Front system for emerging SQ system?

I really enjoyed the Legatia's tweeters. However I have not heard a Hybrid Audio setup that contained their mids that I really fell in love with YET. It didnt hit all my sweet spots. Felt a little lifeless. The vehicle(

FoxPro5, I am aware of the fact that installation is paramount, and I fear I will likely fail on this one, as it will be my first install, but I got the impression there was something especially difficult with installation of the Legatia, apparently not, but I have to tell that I've for now, put them on hold. When customs and taxes are paid, they would be too expensive. Maybe in the future..............

Magalomaniac, I will check up on the Scanspeaks again, and I was given an offer of the Genesis, but it was said they were beefed up SEAS speakers if I remember correctly, anyway, I'll check them up again. The Genesis might be on the expensive side. And yes, I will be able to listen to them all, but it will involve rather extensive travelling, I've at least about 400 km to the nearest Morel dealer. I hope to be able to start listening sessions during the christmas holidays.

Are you on Talkaudio.uk? Maybe hook up with some of those guys and listen to their cars? Genesis is huge on that forum. And I'd suspect DLS, Dynaudio, and SEAS is pretty easy to come buy if you're from Sweden.

No, I'm not on Talkaudio.uk, and I guess that would be a very long a trip. DLS and SEAS I have in the vicinity, but Dynaudio is not very common here, at least not what I have noticed. I've checked up on the Scan-Speak Revelators, but that seem to be a quite expensive solution, and I guess it would be difficult to find a car to listen in, and are they really made for car environments? Nothing in the product sheets about that. They do look nice though. I think I'll stick to what I have in my list in the first post, if nothing very interesting, that is affordable turns up.

I'd say focal and Rainbow will fit into heavy metal category best.

No, the are not made for a car. What does that have to do with anything, though? It's just a driver. It still has to be optimized and used intelligently. Seeing as though they ideally prefer a sealed environment, I see no issue at all. I use SS drivers in my car and so do many hobbyists and competitors.

Also, Scan has made plenty of car-audio specific drivers which are really not any different then their own; they just have a different sticker on them.

But, I do have to warn you, I don't read too many product sheets. Oddly enough, I seem to be fairly satisfied in life without them most of the time.

I thought that inside a car door would be a quite hostile environment for a driver, especially if it has an untreated paper cone, apparently not.

I guess that, eventually I might also come to a point where I don't feel like I "need" to read spec sheets to get a feeling for what I will get in the box, but for now, I feel more comfortable following a few old and tested myths in car audio. I'm more of a braces AND belt guy, I'm sure to cut my corners later on.

I'll be starting my listening sessions any day now.

My speakers need to be all-rounders rather then genre specific then I listen all kinds of music, but they surely must be more than satisfactory for metal and stuff.
