Focal Speaker Question

I'm replacing the HIFI amp with a Bimmertech amp. If I go with the Focal IFBMW-C speakers in the doors, what is a good speaker to use on the rear deck? Also, should l replace the stock sub with the IFBMW-subs? This set up will be a bit more than the Bavsound Stage 1 and Ghost subs, is it worth it?

Put a pair of ISC100. They are essentially the same as the IFBMW-C just a little thicker and much lower priced. They wouldn’t fit the doors, thus why you did need the IFBMW-C, but for the rear deck they are perfect.

I have them in my car. Sound great!

There is a ton of information on Focal speakers on this forum. I have the 100s in my doors. They do require a spacer ($10). I would recommend listening before deciding on which one is best for you. Also, the rear deck speakers are almost insignificant. You might replace the doors speakers, disconnect the center channel and replace the subs before replacing the rears.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

For a basic upgrade, do you recommend Focal IFBMW-S and replace 1 or both underseat subs with something like Focal IFBMW-SUBV2?

Then just keep rear speakers stock?

I am curious to know how the Focal subs compare to the Bav sound subs as well!
