Looking into upgrading the speakers like pretty much everybody else who owns a S, but i want to do the components before i add a sub. So im looking at Focal 165 A1's, anybody have any input on them? also whats a few different amps recommended to push them nicely?

 

Personally Im not a fan of Focal, should look into Hybrid Audio Techonoligies. http://www.hybrid-audio.com/

Recently Mosconi AS Series amps are very popular should look into that. http://www.mosconi-system.it/

I personally uses Arc Audio SE2075. http://www.arcaudio....ries/se2075.asp




Here is my audio install, https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/845...-audio-install

 

Why should the OP use your speaker preference? At least clarify a bit so the OP can evaluate if your reasoning is relevant or not.

 

i would look at a 3-4 channel amp, use 2 channels for mids-highs, and rest for sub, i have had great success with the JL XD 500/3

and many of the alpine amps

all will fit in trunk, to the left of the spare tire (above gass tank), hidden out of site and take up no room, easy to get to, just remove trunk liner

 

Well I find in general Focal sounds very thin and overly bright with their metal tweeter. And at this Focal 165 price range there arent anything that can perform like the HAT Imagine I61-2. Not to say the HAT Imagine I61-2 are Coaxial speakers which makes mounting a lot easier in the S2000 especially in the AP1 interior.

Some comparison between these 2 products

Yes thats another amp I would recommend as well.

Also look into
JL Audio Slash-v2 300/4

Alpine PDX F4 for their small size

Sounds good ill check everything out you guys recommended, thanks

 

I actually have vocals I say they are pretty damn good! The tweeters can get so loud it feels like its almost piercing ur ear! But neways I have them hooked up to Rockford forgave 4 channel!!! Go get them!

 

Also if you dont want to buy everything at once the HAT Imagine I61-2 its even great with just headunit powering them!

Personally I don't like the ear piercing/bright speakers.

 

The HAT seem to be nice speakers as well, where you guys recommend getting the imagine set? Is that what you guys are all running? BTW what's the price range on them as well?
