Q about setup

right now i have a set of 6.5" infinity kappa components in the stock door locations... i recently got a set of focal access 6.5" components for FREE, ppl have told me that these are better than my infinitys... but i don't wanna go thru the trouble of replacing them, so i was thinking of putting the focal's somewhere in the backseats and getting a 4 ch amp to run them all... but i guy i know says that the "brightness" of the focals will overpower the infinitys and everything will sound like crap... any ideas?

Which model Focals?.. What colors the cone?. To install them in the door in involves trimming the plastic speaker ring in your door and using a 1" Spacer..otherwise the ring rubs on the surrounds. Lemme know which model though..

Cheers

Ohh okay.. the newer polyflex line..they'll fit..sound allright..little too bright though..the TN 47 tweet is new, they previously used the TN 45 which could at times be downright harsh. Maybe they improved that.. couldn't tell ya

alright thanks... but putting them in the backseats would probably be a bad idea, right? bad mix w/ the infinity kappa's
