Default Anything better than these Focals at this price?

About to buy the Focal Access 165 A1 component set for $170 but I wanted to make sure I'm getting the best bang for the buck before I pay the $$$
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_091165A...ss-165-A1.html

Whatever components I get will be hooked up to my Zapco C2K 2.5 amp. And I'm running a 12" Image Dynamics IDmax sub powered by a Zapco C2K 6.0 amp. HU is Alpine CDE-123. So.. are there any better components out there around that price range?

The Focals you mention provide exceptional sound. I doubt you will find anything much better at that price. --Spike

Really hard to beat focals. I blew my set recently after 6 years when my gain was adjusted up to high on my amp by accident. I dodn't want to drop $800 on some K2Ps so I replaced them with a component set of Hertz Mille 165 that I placed in Wickey CAS pods. Sounds great.

it's worth it i think. speakers sound much better. the speaker grill on the door covers a lot of the speaker.

Yea I took off the stock speaker grill today and I was like... They could've at least made all those tiny holes open instead of just half..
