I have the Eton in the front and JL coax's in the rear. F45 REALLY opened up the entire system. the vocals sit in a space of their own -- seemingly in the middle of the dash instead of floating around between the driver and the passenger. The sound stage is much wider and spread out which helps in the overall stereo separation. The bass is much cleaner with greater overall presence.

Flat EQ -- both bass and treble in the middle position and I feel like it sounds amazing compared to F22.

Will report back on F39 shortly.

E39 put the sound way more in the front than F45 -- as if everything was coming from the front dash. Quality of the sound was similar but sticking with F45 forsure.
