Big, what made you choose the Focal 3-ways over say the Morel Elate 3-ways (603s I think) for a similar price??

I've been weighing up between Focal KRX2s and Morel Elate 2-ways for weeks!

It was not easy by any means, bust sense I am going to be running the sound stage on axis and active, the focals have a beautiful sound. Where as the hertz you can run them off axis and sound just as good. You just have to listen to them, I was at the PA auto show last year and demoed the KRX3's I was hooked. Today they come

Sounds sweet! Looking forward to hearing about them!

I'll be running 2-ways off-axis (prob in window/mirror sails) therefore the outcome may be different.. Gotta spend some quality time listening to the Elate v KRX2 debate soon

Very good, I have installed them twice in the z and both times they are awesome. Their tweeters come with a bracket that lines up directly with 2 mounting points of the factory ones. Make sure to set your crossover to - db's its either 3 or 6, because this will take care of some of the harshness.

Also, they sound great with a head unit, fantastic with an amp.

Thank you so much Big! I know now what to get! I'm also looking at the Pioneer AVIC Head Unit. What amp should I run? Nothing to overpower the speakers. Thanks again!

I can't find where the rear speakers go on the Nismo. Where exactly is it?

I would at least give them a 100 watts, what kind of budget do you have?
