Thanks kids,

K2P 165KRX3 for the front stage without doubt!!!!
27KX 11" sub ported to the rear shelf, F Power FP5.500 to power the show and a Pioneer AVIC FB900T to run the show (ipod, nav and reverse camera are necessities in the mobile office these days).

Hmmm Nice Jme Should go nicely. Into the new toy then im guessing ? The 27KX Isnt going to fit in the parcel shelf though without some serious chopping. Why not put it in a removable moulded box in the boot ?

Are you sure you want focal?...
I had MB Quart mid series (~$600), Running from a Precision 2*250w
Lower end splits in the rear.
Two rockford P1's subs running from a 300w amp..
All off a single din JVC with 3" screen and pumped out a clear 110db.

My own opinion, I wouldnt fork out the price for focal, even the dealer recommended not to get it..

Focal over Quart any time. Im currently running MbQuart Premiums and would change for the triple way 165KRX3's any time over them, If i had the money, I find the Quart's being to birght and tinny even with the crossovers on -3. As for RF, Unless your going big bikkies with it then its not comparable to the 27KX at all. This is Audiophile gear not off the shelf stuff like what most of us are running. As in Alpine, Quart, Pioneer. Even Alpine Type X Pro dont make the cut for this im sorry. 137Db Navara

Had the focals before, very happy with them. The sub will be in a simple box in the boot, just with a port to the rear shelf, no intention on chopping.

thanks again.
