I am looking at putting new speakers and replacing the bose. I am looking at JL Audio XR650's or the Focal 165 KF. The JL's run $399 and the Focal's are on sale at Car Toys for $399. Which would you choose.

You need to go to a store that sells car audio and listen to different speaker systems. You did to find out what sounds good to you. Don't just go by price.

I have only heard the Focals cause Car Toys had them hooked up. I have not heard the JL Audio cause every place I go to they do not have the speakers hooked up. I am going with the Focals and not just cause they are the only one I have listened too. Everyone I talked to has recommended the Focals over the JL Audio's. I hope to have them installed soon.
