Happy with the fact that no stock wire was spliced, that the reverse cam and steering controls all worked afterwards (tricky that last one), and that the install was so neat - except for the Focal Bomba sub box in the back, everything looked stock.

The SQ? I think the lively characteristic of Focals is perfect for a car environment. Details rise above the road noise. I love the highs actually - pinpoint and sparkly. Mickey tuned the setup and tonal balance and time alignment is perfect at the driver's seat.

A bit over-budget but I'm happy to pay for quality stuff, work and results. Thanks to all the tsikot forum advisers.

Nice! Congrats
