Review written by HybridLV from Las Vegas, NV
If your looking for a great 3 way package for your vehicle than look no further. Focal has done there home work with their Polyglass line of car audio speakers. The speakers image well and produce a sound that is exceptional. The tweeters produce a sound that very smooth without being tinney or harsh (a problem with most metal tweeters). Crossover and speaker build quality are top notch.

This package worked well in my 2007 VW GTI because the 4" speaker location is shallow therefore limiting my options. Powering the package is a JL Audio 300v2 two channel amplifier. These two components work really well together to please the most demanding audiophile. I had to set the tweeter level on the crossover to 0 because at -1 setting the setup sounded somewhat muddy in the midrange. After the change was made, the front stage came alive. This setting will vary from car to car, so you need to adjust this level during install to suit your taste. I am using the stock deck with a JL Audio Clean Sweep to help reshape the signal. Sound will just get better with an aftermarket headunit and a subwoofer package.
