I had a set of Focal 165KP, on a powerful amp (2 x 225 w rms @ 4 OHms). I loved it for (8) years. The I finally blew a mid : I think a lead went bad and I tried to fix it. Impossible. M5 told me about the SEAS Prestige and I bought them. I was afraid to run those because of the 8 Ohms impedance, instead of 4. I hooked them on the inputs of the Focal passive filters, and kept the tweeters on those filters. First listening session put a big smile on my face. It really was not a downgrade from the Focal. No tuning, no eq, nothing, and I loved it ! Then I bought a mini dsp to set my x-overs and adjust everything. I'm still playing with the dsp, but not so much (I need time). I must say those speakers sound VERY good. I hate those PA style speakers that screams, like Barry White sings like Celine Dion ! Those Seas are "warm", accurate. Not Cheap too ! They do get loud ! In that active way, the mids are on 2 channels of my amp, and the tweeters are on the last 2. This amp is rated at 4 x 65 w rms @ 4 Ohms. So I don't know how many watts at 8 Ohms ! Not much, but they're loud enough for me. I did not loose anything from the Focal to this set of Seas Prestige. (They're a little bigger than the KP, 6.5" to 7"). I am very very happy with this purchase. Good luck. BTW this forum is amazing, you'll get the best advices available.

J congrats. I just got solicited by a marketing company through a friend who works there and a few more requests for weddings this year. I'm so jealous that you are shooting concerts. One of my closest friends is actually touring with and shooting the smashing pumpkins right meow.

Finally cleared to announce this as it is confirmed. I finally have a publication asking me to cover a festival. ROCKwell UnScene Magazine http://www.rockwellunscenemagazine.com in conjunction with www.tattoos.com has me giving their contest winners VIP passes and GA tickets to Fort Rock April 30th and May 1st. I'll be handing out stuff to the winners before gates open, taking photos of our winners, and shooting the bands at this two day festival. Some of the bands are Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sevendust, Asking Alexandrea, and many more. J

You can do flush mount with just 2 baffles. Dont have to have 2 baffles under the flush mount piece . . I would do as big as you can fit forreal . My experience with zcons is they really like big enclosures. . What amp will you be running to it?

Welcome to the forum. You're on the good track ! Nothing wrond with Focal speakers and Mosconi amplifiers, if you can get them. I have ran Focal sets for 10 years and I loved them. But big money equipments are not the only ways to sound good. Good luck.
