3. In the dash area*

*Option "3" is really the big unknown, not sure how high freqs in the front with mids/lows behind will sound. Any experiences?


i have a huge experience in that but this is an other story , i can simply say your setting is wrong for what you expect : listen well the music, roof open in fast speed in highway, separate tweeter is only valid in closed car and in front speaker.

in open car the setting must be 13 cm in front (w or w.o tweet separate) and in rear 16cm or 21 cm 2 or 3 way co-axial.

Your amp is slim & nice but will not be enough when you will need power


Chester- thank you for the advice! What amp wattage would you suggest? And what setup?

The speakers came in today and they look lovely. I wish I still had the other Focals to do a side-by-side.

I purchased the component Focal system (165KRC) and what is essential the same product with integrated tweeters (165KR).
