[QUOTE="jva_2348, post: 8701087, member: 679278"] Howdy Ladies and Gents, I'm a relatively inexperienced car audio person and I unintentionally started setting up a system in piecemeal fashion. A little background before my question: I currently have a JL Audio XD1000/5v2 amp powering one 12" W6v3 and four stock interior speakers (two front doors, two back doors) in my Lexus ES350. I've decided to replace the four stock interior speakers that are being powered by the JL amp, because they don't sound good. I was gifted two pairs of brand new Focal PC165F 6-1/2" 2-way coaxial speakers, which I'm now going to install myself in the front and back doors. I also want to replace the 3 dash speakers (two corners and one center, each 4"), which are still being powered by the factory amp, but I'm not sure about what speakers to install there. Which leads to my question: does it make any sense to install additional coaxial speakers in the dash considering I will have the focal coaxials in the front and back doors? Perhaps too much in high frequency range? I'm not willing to go the component route because I don't want to modify the car. And is it ok, in general, to mix speaker brands if I decide to go a cheaper route than focal for the dash? Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? Thank you very much in advance! [/QUOTE]
