I'm in the process of planning my setup for an upcoming Mazda CX5 2.0. My 2 previous rides have DLS B6As and I'm very happy with the SQ.

One ride with a JVC 1DIN HU had a JBL GTO5355 5ch amp and a 12" sealed Rockford Audio sub. The other just powered by a Civic HU and a Blaupunkt 8" powered sub.

For the CX5, I'm thinking of DLS again but 3way. I plan to put the midrange driver in the speaker ports on the dashboard and the tweeters at the A pillars.

Two questions - which is better the DLS Performance C- Series 06-C36 or DLS X-Program C Series XSC63?

What if I try the Focal Performance- Access DFS Series 165 AS3? What would be the tonal change compared to the DLS?

I'm also thinking of changing the HU to a Pioneer AVH-X2650BT or the higher models. Adding a JBL 4ch amp is also a possibility.

Appreciate the inputs of my fellow car audio hobbyists...
