Default JL Audio ZR570-CSi vs Focal K2 Power K130KR Component Speakers

Looking for some help. I am getting rid of my spare tire and placing a JLW7 in the back. I have a JL HD900/5 going to Power the Sub and my Component Speakers. I am looking at getting the best Component Speakers to work, has anybody installed the subject line ones or have any suggestions.

Thanks...

you may want more power for a W7, of any size, they eat it up fast. as for the debate on JL vs. Focal, it's your car, and speakers are very subjective, i'd go listen to both and see what you like better, bring some of your CD's to listen to. Both are good speakers so...

Focal FTW But JL ZR series is super nice too. Go listen to them both like I did! Focals are harder to tune the highs though. Focals have a nicer cross-over too! I might end up get the JL's myself. Yet not to many components can beat the Focal K2 series.

I love the accuracy of the Focal's, but their highs are a bit brash (subjectively) for me.

Best components? I'd recommend Dynaudio, Alpine SPX-PRO's, Polk SR-Series, Morel Elates, and DLS.

I'm sure there's more...

I would go with the focals over the JL's much better IMO for the price.
