Good set focals tweeters cost more the Infinity or Polk Audio itself. At first I didn't believe it either but when I had a system plus nav installed into my wife's MDX, I have to give it two thumbs up!

Man, whats with all the hatin. "With all due respect" doesn't give you the right to say whatever you want, if you've seen Ricky Bobby you know what I'm talking about. And I never thought a 10,000 watt system was cool, I made sure to dynamat the hell out of my BMW so it wouldn't rattle. And my highschool days were only like 4 monthes ago, so whats that got to do with anything? But oh well, I guess I'm gonna get crap for not knowing what focal speakers were.

No hating dude....I just thought it was funny. But hey just an fyi dynamat CHANGES the way a speaker is "supposed" to sound. I try and aviod it at all cost. I've been into high end car audio for a while now, used to do installs for friends back in the day (i say it as if im so much older haha).
Anyway, anyone thats looking for super highend system above and beyond what retailers sell should check out Reus Systems.
What have you done to your car so far?

Absolutely nothing so far, besides wheels, window tint, and a cd player. I am trying to only buy "universal" stuff, by universal I mean so when I buy a 911 when I get out of college I can put the wheels on it along with the cd player and future things I might buy. My plans are bypass valves, ROW kit, and maybe a new front bumper (one that will go onto a 911 if I get a 99-01, or maybe you can fit 996 headlamps into the boxster so you can run 996 front bumpers, but who knows)

I have the Focal 100v setup in my dash , 5WS subwoofers in my doors. All were mounted with just slight modifications , using the stock speaker grills . 60 x 4 Audison amp powers them, with a Nak CD400 head unit. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. Talk to Rod @ www.caraudioinnovations.com blinkwatt, he carries all these, except the 5WS which I believe they don't make anymore. Hes in Roseville, which shouldn't be too far away from you ( I believe). I really like the sound quality, crystal clear, and plenty loud for my needs  ........
