Opinion on current setup and what to do next

[DazzMW]

Current SQ setup for my 2002 Legacy Wagon.
-Kenwood KMM-BT305 Head unit
-Focal 165AS Component Speakers
-Focal P30F 12 inch Sub (sealed box)
-Pioneer DM-D8704 4 CH amp running front speakers and sub.
-Sound deadened front doors and boot to small extent.

Sound awesome but not sure what to do next and interested in peoples opinions. The guy I get my audio gear off recommends putting current speakers in the rear and getting next model up speakers for the front and then going DSP and another amp to run tweeters, woofers and sub off the DSP. But I'd like to hear a few more opinions. Goal is SQ.

I know this won't be fun to hear, but if it sounds good, maybe save money for other things?

It sounds good for what it is. But there is always room for improvement and upgrades.
lol no one is ever 'finished' with their build.

Im finished. Like finished finished just enjoying the system while putting money towards early retirement. If you gonna upgrade, just do it one straight up, get amazing results, get it outta your system and solve the addiction lol. For you, id say run active, get a dayton dsp and another 4 channel, put the focals mids in the kick panel and get a beefy dedicated midbass to the doors. Give it the good ol 3 way active network front SQ tune and you should be set.

Yeah the addiction is real. Started off a year or two ago with simple speaker upgrade. Thanks for info, will look into it.

You're probably ready for a wall build.
