Why Focal? They seem way too expensive for what they are.

[MiniBonkerz]

A few suggestions...

Get rid of the 6x9s, you've already got a whacking great sub for bass and good quality components for mids and highs.

Power caps do naff all, waste of money.

How heavy is that sub? You may need some pretty beefy bracing to fit it into the rear seats. Also bear in mind that the rear seat is structural, cutting it too much could weaken the shell.

What's the total RMS of the system?

Just move the woofers and tweeters to the front...

Where's the sub going? If it's in the boot and as powerful as you say it'll destroy those speakers on the rear shelf.

Subs going rear seats mate and im gona keep them there but gona buy another set for the front mabey for door cards! really happy with the peformance of them tho so far

[Ouster]

I just don't see why you've got tweeters in the back...

[truezie.]

2bh thats exactly what i said! you dont listen to music behind you! but its also because it looks good!
and to be fair it does sound realy good and if youve got them in the front aswell your goin to get a surrournd sound affect!
