Yes the kicker key 200.4 has an integrated DSP that works very well, it's very surprising in this price range.
Tweeters are in stock location , under the grill. I wrapped electrical tape about 6 times around each tweeter. Fit perfectly. Not sure what you mean by plug in play. The door speakers were an exact fit and crutchfield included the correct speaker harness for them.
The IS Ford 6.5 speakers are exact replacements with direct connection using the Maverick speaker harness and have the same mounting bracket. The tweeters also match the existing ones so they can drop into the existing slots. It appears they have a higher end tweeter according to Focal but not likely worth the cost difference.
A local shop has 4 different sets of focal 6.5 components on their demo wall and I listened to them.
This is excellent information. I haven't located the Focals locally so wasn't sure. I am so glad I learn from others - saves me $$$. I will add the rse165s as the set I will go with.
Their alot of sets for the money that are better then focal just giving a heads, definitely listen to them before if you can
I listened to many. I like clear, concise music. Not muddy bass. I found the focals sounded best for $150. Obviously everyone has their own tastes.
Needs power and ground. I think the amp can use as small as 12ga.. but if I'm pulling a power wire I'm at least bringing in 8 gauge to future proof it a bit.
That was an option on Hoel. I decided to not buy the extra wiring kit. I ran a wire from battery to the hoel harness. He included a power and ground pig tail to make wiring the power and ground much easier. Message Hoel, he is very good at responding. I am just cheap and decided to run my own power and ground
To clarify, you did not use the 12 db high-pass passive crossovers that came with the Focal set but used the Kicker Key in bi-amp mode so that it used the 24db at 3500 Hz active crossovers, correct?
