Default 6.5" Component (Front Speakers) - Which ones?

Hi,

So after a lot of time spent researching speakers, I've come to the conclusion (perhaps wrongly) that either the Focal PS 165 (EISA award winners) or Hertz ESK 165 are the best speakers for both SQ & value for money to replace my current OEM speakers.

Before I make the purchase or final decision as to which ones I'd ask if anyone else has experienced these in the S2000 or dare I say it can recommend anything better?



A bit of background - Initially the speakers will be running off an Alpine iDA-X311RR, but I have plans to amplify them off a 4-channel amp & add a sub in the boot for maximum effect.

Unfortunately I dont have a bottomless pocket, so value for money plays a role, as does sound quality (SQ) as I'd like to be able to enjoy all types of music.

Thanks for reading my post & I look forward to all responses

Cheers Brent

I just installed the hertz 165 hks speakers in my 03 S2000 last weekend. They were a good improvement over the POLK DB6501s I had in there before. In order to get them into the door I had to use a 3/4 spacer and had to make the hole in the sheet metal about 1/4" larger in diameter so that the support structure would fit in the hole.
