Alpine 7995 with XM added
6 disc changer/mp3
136k Focal components
2 JL 8w0 subs
JL 500/5 amp
waiting on Alpine ere-g180 eq to finish the job
Sounds pretty good right now, I am still in the process of tuning it. It took quite a while to get it tuned properly in my last car.

Why did you go with 5 1/8 inch focal components instead of 6 1/2?
Am looking to upgrade to focal also and wondering if you used smaller due not alot of holes in door panel grill or for another reason. Thanks!

I only used the 5 1/8 inch because it came out of my last car. If I was buying new equipment I would have definately gone larger. I still might decide I want rear speakers and If I do I will just buy 6.5 inch Focals for the doors and move these to the rear.

I did the Focal Poly's in the 6 1/2". It's the 1st time I've tried them and it sounds great!
Highly recommend...
PS: Who did your speaker spacers??

looks good! question on the Focals. did you make the new pods only b/c its a smaller speaker? or b/c they needed pushed out for clearing the window parts? I'm might be doing Focal 180W's (7" kit) up there, wondering what clearance issues I might have. Lastly, any pics or info on how you mounted the tweets

You will definately need a spacer for most door speakers. I needed on on the 5 1/8 so you will need on for the 7". I didn't want to use a plastic 1" spacer for fear it would rattle.
