Not installed yet, but I've got Rainbow SLC's with a JL 450/4.

 

cool man let me know how it turns out

 

Infinity Perfect 6.1's in the front powered by some mediocre alpine amp.

Does this thread have a point?

 

Yeah, I'm lookin for a good component set and just wanted to see what other peeps were runnin'. I know what HU and amp I'll be using but I'm still torn on what components to get.

 

Speakers:

Focal Polyglass 165 V2 components up front
Focal Polyglass 165 CV1 coaxials in rear deck

Amp:

Focal FP 4.75

 

I am having some Polk MMC6500 6.5 components installed next week. They were $150 shipped from ebay and from what I've read they're as good as the Alpine type x's but not as good as the focals.

 

..

 

Ok, Ray,

Just finished the install and w/o the tweaking, my focals sounds like stock speakers. Disappointed w/ the outcome. It does'nt sound clean like the XRs I had.

My advise to you and to myself, get the JL XR comps!!! I can't believe even w/ the tweaking I would be happy w/ these. I'm running JL amps 150w/ch. It is heavy as ****, I can feel it weighting down on my suspension. And I am not happy w/ these NEW eclipse HU! Whatever happen to that clean simple old Eclipse HUs!!!

Fudge, I miss my old setup...

 

Yeah, Eclipse really went downhill. The only Focal speakers I really cared for were the $1000 and up sets . . . generally less impressed with JL though, speaker wise. Pioneer and Pioneer premier are putting out some really nice units nowadays. Which Focal's did you get?

 

Focal Polyglass 165 V2 components.
The high end Focal did sound amazing! But I could'nt spend 1000 for them.

 

Damn man sorry to hear that. So what are you goin back to the XRs?

 

alpine type r components and alpine 4 channel amp V12 series

 

Nah, going back to stock, for now.

I may just compromise and run coaxials front w/ HU powered. Maybe add powered bozokas, to save weight.

Just don't like to waste more money or add weight.

If you're going to get comps, go with XRs. Great prices and execellent quality...

 

focal 165v2's on Eclipse EA4000 amp...sounds awesome!

 

I think I'm going to go nuts this time around and go for a set of Boston Acoustics Pro 50s. I am going to run them with a Rockford Fosgate 60x4.

I had Polk dbs in my Galant and Alpine Type R's in my Eclipse and Polk>Alpine IMO. I hope the BA's blow them both away.
