I run Adire Audio koda components with LPG 26na tweeters. Very good setup, with 100wrms per channel. Still need to tune my eq with the new US acoustics amp. Used to run a monitor-1 mk-2.70, built in the same house as Zapco I believe. APRA i think.
Its sounds pretty good, It requires more tuning of the eq then the koda tweets. But its makes the koda tweets sound tinny in comparison. A lot more detailed upper range.
Ive been a Rockford Fosgate fanatic for about 5 or 6 years now, their products have always performed excellently and have RARELY given me any trouble. Ive had only 1 sub blow out of about 15 or 16 Ive owned over the years.
The Fanatic X component systems are great too, really great stuff. RMS-70 140-Peak and the highs are very crisp. The mids do a good job too...even when damaged by installation 4 years ago.

These things are insane, that's all there is to it. With just ONE of the sides hooked up, it easily smashed the pair of Focals into the ground in sub-100hz output. I can, no shit, turn off my sub, put the Kodas on full range (no highpass filter) and it just sounds beautiful. Obviously I can't turn it up to deafening levels with it like this though, so I keep the highpass at 50-63hz. With it crossed this low (which you can't do with 99% of the speakers out there and still be able to turn it up as loud as you can with these), it keeps the sub playing the true subbass frequencies only, keeping it out of the midbass. This makes the whole system sound tighter, punchier, and just cleaner in general. Installing these speakers has actually allowed me to tune the system such that I've fallen in love with my sub again, I've never been able to do that before.
The downside is these mids are huge fat bastards, they have a 3" mounting depth and the motor itself is no slouch. Here are a few pics of the Koda mid vs the Focal Polyglass mid:
Keep in mind, these are now around the same price. The polyglass on ebay are in the upper 200's shipped with no warranty and no customer service, the Kodas are $350 shipped with a full warranty and amazing customer service (I've dealt with both Adire themselves and Kyle at acoustic-visions and I can tell you that their customer service really is amazing)
I see the changed the design on rubber surround, mine got pretty tore up because of the old version. Youre probably on CAF all the time so you know what im talkin about. I have heard the Focal 165k2's and I wasnt that impressed. Im glad to hear you like them though. Its nice to see a fellow nissan/adire owner. I still have a blown Brahma mark1 then needs a recone, im just too lazy hehe.
Yeah it really surprised me, they have this cardboard piece that's glued securely to the flange all the way around with little cutouts for the screw holes. The surround is cut where the screwholes are and everything. All of the problems that people had before seem to have been fixed, I didn't even know they had done it, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise.
This is my 2nd set of Adire speakers, the first set is a pair of their Kit 81 home theater towers. Those sound so amazing that it's part of the reason why I chose the kodas for the components and the Brahma for the sub. I just wish the Brahma wasn't on backorder....
*CL61 - great entry level speakers, cant get a better quality speaker and especially not for the price.
*EF-61cfi - upgraded model to those above, feature carbon fiber cones and vented magnets. Again, superb quality and sound. Can easily compete with Morel, MB Quart, Focal, etc...
Dynaudio 240GT component set:
* what more to say about Dynaudio....the best of the best!
Image Dynamics comp set:
*CSX62 - very nice set, very clean production of music. Tonally balanced.
Great price, you can get them online for 70 bucks, in stores for 90-100. Their very loud and hold up rather well at high volume levels. If you dont have a component amp pushing your speakers, you will not hear a difference between this and more expensive speakers. I had them up front and in the back (still use the backs). Great price for what you get, I highly reccomend.
if you want a good brand of speaker i would get rockford fosgate. Friend has them and they are really clear. I have sony xplode and they are alright. Pioneers are pretty good to. But definitly look into the rockford fosgate.
