I run a set of K3P, love them!! I have the the mid in the fairing and the mid bass in the lowers, only problem is 4 large crossovers to hide in fairing and they like lots of power. I have used Boston's in the past and our a good speaker. But I love Focals , have krx 3's in my truck and full custom Utopia in my car so I'm a little bias.

Just installed Focal PC 165s and I love them. Just put them on this winter but after hearing many different speakers out there I like these the best. That being said going down the road at 70 mph I am not sure how much difference that makes but I am more particular about my speakers.

Yea I'm leaning toward the BA over the Focal. Only thing that concerns me is the large crossovers and find a place under the fairing for them. Looking at the Pro 60 SE that GlacierPearl has in his ride. Going to have to take a look at his setup to see where he placed his.

Sound is incredible ! Only negaitive is the size of the crossovers. I mounted them on top of the head unit.
I saw that you used two spacers mounting them. What length screws did you use if you can remember back that far?
