Replaced front door Pioneer with Focal
Replaced the front door Pioneer speakers with Focal Access 165 CA1.
This was a distinct improvement! The speakers are very balanced and clear.

Anytime you swap paper speakers with whizzer cones with non-paper replacement speakers, the improvement will be noticeable.
I put four Infinity Reference 6.5" speakers in my SS, and it sounds great.
No, it's not "audiophile" quality, but neither are my ears.

with a small replacement like that will the HU still run it all fine?
Wouldn't mind upgrading mine someday if the price is right. I used to switch the speakers in my car but never knew if i was really doing it right?
ANy depth restrictions I gotta worry about?

I also uprgraded to the infinity 6.5, I am wondering do any of you guys run amps to them or are you just using power from h.u.? I am looking at an alpine amp and wondering if it is worth it or not for clarity purposes as I turn it up a little..
