cabling by chord. and running them active.

charging system has been upgraded. alternator upgrades by 30% and kinetik batteries installed close to the amps.

craziechild: for discussion purposes maybe you can let us know what your car sounds like now. what character and what do you think it lacks (compared to what, benchmark?). thx man.

calvin: ww is filthy rich, but you're getting there also.

i think you typed wrongly.

you should have typed Money to ME is not the issue

Wow!! I like the phrase. Then if thats the case should consider the following options:
1] Van den Hul Platinum Interconnect
2] Duelund CAST Silver 12awg Inductor
3] Duelund Silver Foil PIO capacitor
4] VDH The Third
5] Skaaning Mids with Diamond Dome Tweeter
Geng!!

Can someone enlighten me how to distinguish between the two?

Seen someone in diyma mentioned that the UV version has better mid range compared to the non-upgraded version.

Most importantly, the price is also different.

some reads about how to match your Focal K2P uv and that you do not need tons of RMS. like any good speaker, you need to understand the drivers before installing and tuning them right.

also note that someone told me he felt our K2P uv mids are heavier than the K2P he bought from a local shop. I'm not sure what significance that makes, both looks the same.

my suggestion is to insist on warranty and get it stated on the invoice if possible. good things don't come cheap and dirt cheap things don't come good either. the only exception would be if the model has been phased out or some sorts.
