Finally completed my stereo upgraded.lol I did put in the focal kx2 up front, the door photo is with the old focal flax and old crossovers
After all the work and research , came out pretty good, as I’ve never done any stereo upgrade in my life .
May change the amp to a 6 channel and go active ,or a 4 channel active ,eliminate the rears ,and add a mono block .
I do have a question if I go front active ,is there a benefit to using the focal crossovers and bi amping them.

my setup is
rd-900-5 amp jl
kx2 focal up front 2 ohm
2 jl audio 10 inch subs, under rear seats
stock rears
sound deading in the front outer and inner skins
stingers roadkill rings for front speakers

I have those same speakers running it active. I do not run the crossover but a Masconi processor . Did you notice much difference going from the flax to KX?
