Default B6 component speaker choices....

As far as 6.5" components, any recomendations?

Focal
Boston acoustics
MB Quarts

I'm not familiar with the model #'s

My system plans is a JL 10w6v2 in a custom fiber glass sealed enclosure with JL 500/5(100watts x2 front/25watts x2 rear/250watts sub). Would 250watts be enough for the sub? What's a good component to run with this set up?

Here's a few pics of the sub enclosure, still need a few more layers. The blue dots are OE mounting points of the plastic bin that I plan on using for the enclosure.

If the $'s were no object, I'd go for the 6.5" Dynaudio components

Default Focal components are nice. I had a set of 6.5's in my prev. car.

250w might not be enough for a sub.

I have a set of focal Polykevlar 165K2P in the front &amp; a set of Focal Polyglass 165 V2 in the rear powered by a JL audio 300/4 in my A4.

My sub is JL Audio 250/1 &amp; a JL Audio 10W3 V2 in my own custom made box.

I have had quite a few systems in my time and I am very impressed with the sound of this set up and would recommend any of the components.

Not sure of the price because I got my system cheap a custom car shop selling stock as they were no longer doing audio.

Default I love my Focal seperates but they're not a budget buy if that's a concern.

You really need to go listen to each brand and see which you prefer though.

Default How did you guys get the 6.5s in your car? Pictures? My local guy who's very good..

suggested a custom setup but the costs would creep up pretty good if I wanted to keep a ver OEM look.

Dynaudio is great, and I also loved my Diamond Audio Hex's.
