I was a fan of the Focal PC 165, thought they were better than the Millies, just not as loud. KRC's seem louder but it could just be that their so clean they only seem louder.

I'll have my setup ready to do side by side testing very soon I hope. Keep looking for the "Bunker's Beats" thread for new.
T informed me of a great deal. I may get them just want to confirm power and response before pulling trigger. The Hertz hsk165 seperates may not be much better either. I can keep gains down since the ZED has a 8-9 volt input sensitivity. So the low end decent as we all know isn't as needed at high speeds.

well I had the gains down on the Focal PC 165's and I still blew a tweeter that's the main reason I went to the 600.4.

I love the RF TM400x4, it's been the only constant in my setup until now. If I could get away with 100w or 200w it would stay in.

I look at it as I now have an amp for the 8.8's I'll eventually be adding

[quote=hbsoldier3]I followed your lead:



I went with Rush true duals and actually picked up hp/tq in my seat around 2800-3200rpm. I can now use 6 th gear around 70 instead of 80mph. And sounds GREAT! Don't like the look of that X but it's suppose to perform great!

I have the same FM X pipe. Once the stock shields are installed you don't know the pipe is there.
