Focal and Infinity are both ok, but try something different.

Take a listen to the BOSTON PRO's 6.5.......Then decide.

Both focal and infinity are on the brighter side of the range. Have a listen to others too. Boston are a good brand making a resurgence recently, but it's ultimately up to you.

Hi, I have nothing but infinity in my car. Mid bass and tweeters with 6 X 9s in a slightly adapted parcel shelf (fibre glassed and re-carpeted) with a pair of infinity 12 inch subs in the back. There are better more punch subs out there but I think the quality is fantastic.
They are all powered with a P300X Genisis amp with is the nutts.

I think that they are fanfastic although focal make very good speakers also.

If you´re able to get some AndrianAudio you should go for t´hem.
Cheaper and way better! (Nearly every class-winner in Germany installed them,only Görlich,Scanspeak,µPrecision and Diabolo were installed if it was not Andrian. Out of Diabolo (XS16!!!) they are all much more expensive.

boston, focal, rainbow, dynaudio... all good stuff. best listen first and see what you like, the focals are bright and accurate, my bro has the entry level bostons (the FS series, a few years old now) and they are sweet, but not as crisp as the focal (but i did spend more than him on speakers!!).

If you want come down to the next ACE-CAFE Meet and you can have a listen to my BOSTON 6.5 PRO's.

Agree with the other comments, Only you can tell if you like the sound of them mate........listen to them all in a car first, coz all speakers sound diff when in a demo stand.
