I ran Focal Polyglasses in my RSX and LOVED them. Be careful of Ebay fakes though, Focal is a very high end brand and there are some convincing looking (but crap-sounding) conterfeits out there.

Yes indeedy. DO NOT buy Focals from EBAY. The fake rate is astounding, and I have seen them, they are convincing.

Focal is a great brand, but buy only from reputable online retailers or local shops. VERY high quality speakers.

I lucked out and got real Focals off Ebay years ago before the fakes started popping up. There were loads of unauthorized dealers that Focal has since cracked down on.

yup, i've been running Focals for a few years now. generally pretty pleased with them. as i recall, i'm running Focal 165K2's

bought them locally at a retailer. had a warranty issue, and Focal handled it w/ no hassle, and made it pretty good. (mine were phased out, w/o a real clear replacement...)

I was tossed between Polk Momo's or the Focals...but if I go with the Focals I have to upgrade with a better amp!!! The amp I was initially going with was the Alpine 4 channel Vpower, but if I switch to the Focals then I would have to go with a more expensive amp like JL...

For what reason? Power? Power doesnt have to be expensive.

Can you guys recommend an amp to go with the Focal 165k2p and a JL stealthbox? One amp or two separate amps? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!

I probably will go with the original plan....Alpine HU 9857, Modfry IR dash controler, Polk MOMO's in doors and Spods, Alpine 4 channel amp, and possibly a JL sub and additional amp (maybe)
