Hey everyone

Im deciding which split to use.

Firstly the polyglass 165V split i would get in the slimline version with a 60rms power handling. because of my car type.

or should i spend a little more on the install and get the deeper 165K2 with a power handling of 100rms

i mainly want some speakers that can go really loud! im not super fussed with the clarity. How much louder will the K2's go than the polyglass?

of course with the K2 split being deeper a little more work would have to go into the door work.

thoughts?

Lets see how do I put this...

Thanks for paying attention :D

If you're spending that much money, i'd look at Bostons... I think they'll take more "abuse" than the Focals :)

If you bought the k2's you wouldn't be disapointed
Very good sound and go and have a listen to the diffrence between the k2's and the glass's the k2's sound alot better!
