focal and morels are two of the top speaker manufacturers in sound quality IMO. I think you would like them very much.

Most likely i will. im still searchin for a clean lookin double din. i dont like the aftermarket look of a stereo but i think i might go with the Pioneer AVH-P4100 DVD. its not the best stereo but i think it will look clean

+1 on the 13TW5 they hit hard and have clean deep bass. Cant even tell its a shallow mount by the sound. I just had the AVIC F900BT installed in mine and i love it.

for price to performance ratio, focals come near the last. There are MANY options that will give as good a sound as a focal speaker at half the cost.

Also realize that install will have more of a factor on overall sound than speaker choice. Deadening and sealing your doors as well as properly baffling the speakers will help bass response and clarity.

The Pio 720PRS are right with the upper focal lines like the K2's (if not better in some aspects) and can be found for $250.

I think what one poster was saying that if you buy the Focals that if you don't sound deaden your vehicle or do not install them right your wasting money and could have gotten that sound from a much less expensive component set. He wasn't bashing focal, is the way i read it
