l'm after 6inch speakers, but want the best, loudness, clearness etc etc. Focal seem good? Went down to JB HI Fi and they said JL speakers for like $1100 will do the job and are like 85rms for 6 inch rear speakers for the VL. What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?

FEKVLT dont pay that much, firstly anything jb sell is purchased from the companys in bulk. These companys need to make as much money as possible! so most speakers are made with cheap parts n thats why the quality is not there ie distortion, burnt voice coils ect. However there is a company that simply dont sell rubbish at all. Focal do not use any cheap parts and therefor do not make crap. Im not saying all speakers ase crap or jb dont sell good speakers. As a car audio fitter i swear by the name and wont put anything els in my car. Focal = No crap Alpine= Some crap, Some awsome, Some Adverage Soundstream= Some crap, Some awsome, Some Adverage and so on...

First of all forget Pioneer, they used to good but everything on my pioneer range has failed, go Rockford fosgate, Orion, Alpine, stick with these three and you will never go wrong I'm running in my daily these three brands and it thumps louder than some weekend driver cars. and remember keep it simple stupid....
