hi, i own a 2005 ford fiesta ST. my concern is that i am not sure weather i should replace my rear speakers with components( focal polyglass 165 v2) or coaxials (focal 165 CV). the fronts are Focal polyglass 165V2 components.

the amplifier that will be powering the whole system is a Directed 600/4.

i am alsorunning a kicker L715" sub at 1ohm stable in a sealed box with a directed 1500d amp.

customising is'nt a problem as i already have done the fronts.

any opions would be great.

You can do either, however in most cases, components in the rear is simply unnecessary overkill. I use coaxial speakers for the rears in my car, and will not do otherwise.

It depends on the level of the system that you want. Is there anything wrong with it? Nope, it is all a user choice. I happen to like rear fill and would probably do it myself. Matter of fact the T-Bird we are clearing today is using 165V2's in the front and rear + 2 Xtant X2 12" drivers. Should sound mighty fine Mr. Wolf.
