Upgrading? Worth Every Penny
By Metalliclops
Since this is a $400 product and no reviews, I figured I'd write a fairly in depth response based on my experience:These are great speakers. They sound fantastic. Great imaging, frequency response, and clean. People nowdays are primarily looking for spl systems and although these are an sq product, they will keep up with the beastliest of subs. It is always worth the price difference to get the components over the coaxials too.The one drawback is finding a way to conveniently mount the crossovers and tweeters. The crossovers are adjustable as well, which is awesome. DON'T buy these and try to run them off the deck though. These need an amplifier and run optimally between 60 and 80 rms. They're rated at 70 but I have them off an older premier at 75 watts with the gain at about 3/4 and it's perfect.Note: If you purchase these from Crutchfield, don't use the foam baffles they recommend. I tried it and they worsen the sound quality substantially. My recommendation would be to get the stinger roadkill door kit, and a set of mdf adapters from elemental audio if you have stock 5x7 holes, and use them free air. The voice coil structure on these is different than your average speaker, and you'll see this when you get them. It allows for more excursion and amazing free air frequency response.Hope this helps if you're seriously considering purchasing these.

By Gabriel Smith
These are literally the best 2-way component speakers money can buy for your car--practically speaking. Before you drop the $500 on these, make sure your car is ready for them. You've got to make sure your car is free of as much panel resonance as possible, your car is quiet, and you've got a good location. These won't sound good if you just drop them in a factory hole. I've got custom woofer panels about mid-door and the tweeters mounted about three inches away at the same altitude. Focal tweeters generally sound good mid-to-upper-door and facing each-other, not at your ears. Every car is different, though. Also make sure you've got a good amp and head unit--preferable with time-correction. Now I'll talk about the speakers. Timbre is as good as I've heard. The tweeter wave-guide and cross-over attenuation make adjustments very precise, and the mid-range boost helps, too. These speakers can play low, too, and match up well with my 10" JL W3. Imaging is haunting, with the proper install, and sound stage is well defined. If you've taken your current speakers as far as they can go, upgrade to these! Don't expect these to sound better than your Infinity components without first preparing your vehicle for them. You've got to have a treated car to appreciate what these speakers bring to the table.

I'm pretty sure these are the (circa) 2006 version of the the newer KR model. I haven't heard the successor of these, but these sound perfectly fine to my ears, and they're a couple hundred bucks cheaper here. WoofersEtc were great to deal with as well.I enjoy a variety of rock, jazz, folk, and so on. Some harder stuff, some mellow stuff, some classical/romantic/20th century 'classical, some electronic stuff. Mostly lossless-sourced stuff. Studio stuff, live (soundboard and audience-captured) stuff. All sounds great. I powered these with a Focal Solid 4 amp, and they sound amazing in my little Hyundai. As the other reviewer stated, they're "worth every penny".Jan '13 update: I see the price has jumped by $100. I would very much still pay $500 for these. Even with road noise and whatnot, I hear detail in my music that I never did before. They're so bleeping amazing. I've had friends say that my car has the best stereo they've heard, period. I do believe part of that stems from the fact that the majority of music is lossless (and 24 bit at times), but these puppies don't hold back. All frequencies seem to be well-represented.
