Premium 8 Speaker options, What's out there Options

[RocketScott]

It's time to replace my speakers and as usual there aren't many options.

Seems like the best option I found is this:

There are also a couple of other sets from Precision Power. I've never heard of them. And a set from MB Quart that are made for a BMW but look like they might fit.

Any of you have experience with Focal or have any other options for the 8 speaker system?

It looks like both those sets use an external crossover which will complicate things since the 8 speaker system uses a separate amp for the front mid/tweets and front 8" woofers. I believe the stock amp behind the ac controls that powers the front mid/tweets and rear 6.5" speakers also high passes the fronts.

I have this 3 way component set of focal speakers

They are amazing speakers and just tested them for a short time before I put them away.

I have them for up for sale if you're interested.

Personally I wouldn't go with the precision power, I think premium door panels call for premium speakers.

All my stock radio stuff is long gone, I gave it away here years ago.

I don't remember which Alpine head unit I have but it's an older one.

It's pushing out 16w per channel and right now it runs the back speakers, the front 4" are gone.

For the 8" subs I have a Kicker amp that's 85w x2

I'm thinking I can use that to power the Focal 165 AS3 system but I might be better off getting a four channel amp.

Not sure how important the rear speakers are, right now that's all I have really.

You can still buy it and just not install the crossovers..
