Noted. I've consulted at Focal PH as well as Audiotec PH on FB (same guy who replied, maybe authorized dealer for both brands), it is sound best with the Helix G amps and also comparable to Focals new FPX amplifiers. Will just have a walkthrough to their spec sheets whats bestm (RMS range) with my planned setup. Thanks again for the prompt reply Sir 120.

Boss Arn, haven't heard of that pairing. Usually, I get to listen to a Helix-Audible Physics combo. But to give you an idea, Audison are dark sounding amps. It matches Focal the way how B&W(dark) and Rotel(clinical) are a pair made in heaven. So that matched with the warm and laid back Audible Physics may or may not fit your liking.

I'm intrigued by what you said regarding the bigger sweet spot for 3-way systems (and by extension, Audible Physics). When Mickey tuned my other setups in the past, he would tune it with the driver seat pushed back so he could fit. Hence the sweet spot would be somewhat based on his seating position. But since I'm short, I would then push the seat all the way forward. In other words, my ears would most likely be around a foot away from the sweet spot. With 3-ways, or with the Audible Physics, I suppose my unique dilemma would be rendered irrelevant?
Thanks bro, the Audison Class D prima bit amps Mickey is recommending are actually very small, tiny even, not like the Audison SR5 amp for example. For their size I think two can even fit under the same underseat.
That can still be retuned to your sweet spot Boss Arn. If you got FB, join SQ Manila. Paeng/cyberdraven of pdvd creates invites from time to time. Usually malapit lang sa atin, around the East area. My installer, SimpleSound, got them installed in his car. His next door neighbor, also got Audible Physics installed in his Santa Fe.

I see your point, thanks! Your analogy with B&W+Rotel is very helpful and now it's also clearer to me why you suggested I go for the Focals given my PSBs. What's a good match for the Audible Physics--what did simplesound/his neighbor pair it with? Would the Alpine PDX-V9 be a better partner?
Sent a request to join SQ Manila. Hopefully, I could get to join an EB one time.

Hello. Any inputs sa 10k system promo ni ACA? Is it worth the price na ba? Noticeable po ba ung difference from stock speakers? Gusto ko lang din sana ung may konting boom boom pag trip ko lakasan ung volume. TIA.

I can let you audition my APs if you are around Marikina/ Antipolo/ Marcos HIghway area. It is running on via a 5 ch Audison amp. Just message me should you be interested. Goodluck :)

For me change the kinetic seps to pioneer seps then add deadening. Atleast 5k additional but malaki ang improvement compared sa kinetic seps.
Tonality yes magkakaroon ng pagbabago. Pero you'll feel the improvement more kapag pioneer. May demo si jeff niyan kinetic vs pioneer and malaki ang difference. Pero YMMV parin. According to him may iba ok na sa kinetic pero may iba din na nag-go sa pioneer nung narinig yung difference. (Actually i'm one of them :grin:)

Helix din Boss Arn. I have heard Alpine amps before but sorry it's not enough for me to identify their sound signature.
Their HUs and Type R seps, I know, they sound clinical. Just not sure with the amps.

I'll go with Morel. I feel shortchanged with the DSK. Just look at the tweeter. It is too small. Plus, I like Morel's sound signature more.
