Default Focal 6.5 comps?

Hello all , I wanted to know if it will make a sound difference in a Vert , on me spending the extra cash on the Flax Evo PS 165FE vs the Performance Access 165AS. I was going with the Access 6.5 comps and installing the Performance 130 AC's in the rear. But after all the research have decided to ditch the rears so I have extra cash and wanted to know if its worth upgrading to the Flax Evo's with all the noise inside a Vert. just asking to see if it made a difference , like in a Coupe.

the flax has a bit more bass. If you are set on Focal, take a look at these Focal ISU 200 Universal Integration Series 8" component speaker system.

I am personally going with a 3 way setup using a 10" mid bass in my vert.

Thank you Vince, will look into those 8” comps and also am I doing the right thing in ditching the rear speakers. Just go with comps on the door and my sub in the back?

are you running separate amps or just doing a speaker upgrade?
Honestly, if it's just a speaker upgrade, I would add sound deadner before replacing any speakers.

many opinions about the rear speakers... I would still use them in my system.

Vince is wrong. He always wrong.

I'm just kidding, he's not...I just felt like saying that to him.

The only thing outside of deadening that will reward you with "better" sound is more power and subs.
