[QUOTE="ds0110, post: 7561676, member: 607866"] 2004 Regular Cab Silverado Im going to replace the door speakers with components. Rainbow SLC NG or Focal 165VR. Same price. The rainbows freq range is 50-30k while the focals are 60-28k. The sensitivity of the focals is slightly better at 94.5 vs rainbows 90. The minimum recommended power to the rainbow is 50 while focal at 75, however i think they could handle more than what im going to give them. In either setup they would be getting ~75w each from an amp and ~20w from the HU. Based on specs they seem very close, the focals retail for more...has anyone heard both sets? Any input would be greatly appreciated. On the rear panels, the speaker size is 4x6. im considering disabling the current stock speakers and not replacing them with anything. 150w to two components might be enough. Boston Acoustics makes some 4x6's but they dont seem up to par with the slcs or the focals. it seems like I would get more loudness but less quality. Should i replace the stock speakers or leave an empty hole? Thanks for any suggestions. [/QUOTE]
