Question

OK,
About to bite the bullit, I know nothing about ICE. I have an import MY95 with a Kenwood KDC-PSW9521 head unit. I want to loose no boot space and would like it to be stealthy. Huge Bass is not my thing but just a nice sound with the ability to add an in car PC in the near future. From reading this section I am moving towards the following:
Genesis 6x9 subs under the rear shelf and a Genesis Profile 4x50 RMS amp under the drivers seat. I cannot decide on the fronts. My short list is Focal PolyGlass 165 V2 components or the 165 slims if they are a better fit and the Genesis A16 Audiophile components. Am I better going for all Genesis, are the focals better or am I going the wrong way completely? Budget fitted would be £1000

Also I have no speakers in the rear doors at present should I get some? Although the PC will be able to play DVDs etc. I don't envisage doing much of this and surround sound is not in the plan.

Are there any decent web sites I could consult or magazines to get?

Thanks

Vince

I've just fitted Focal 165H components in the front. They're a bu66er to fit but sound mint.

I'm running them straight from the head unit but do intend to amp them up as soon as I get another pair for the rear.

MateeGee Thanks,
Well I've bitten the bullet and booked the car in for Monday. Went for the Focals, they stock both and the Genesis cost a few quid more, even so they recommended the Focals so hopefully they'll sound OK.

Time will tell
