Default While I like the Focals for their components, I would go with the JL for the sub
Can you do a "taste test" in your car and see for yourself which one you like better?

Default JL......But go with a 10w7.......
The w7 series is in a league all it's own. A smaller sub also produces much cleaner, tighter bass. I have an 8w7 and it is more bass than I know what to do with in a vehicle this size.

Default Uh oh. Here we go again with the smaller sub = cleaner bass theory.
