I've got the itch again to upgrade my Logic7 system by using a combination of MusicarNW's package as well as replacing all the door/deck speakers. Every time I look, I get frustrated because I can't seem to figure out what I can go with to replace both the front and rear doors, center channel and rear deck.

I know most people just replace the fronts, but let's say I wanted to replace it all. From what I can tell, I would need two pairs of 2-way component sets and 3 coaxials.

Closest option I have found so far is:

Front/Rear:
Focal 100 KRS (or 100 VRS for rear to cut down cost)
or
Morel Hybrid Ovation II

Center/Rear Deck:
Focal 100 CVX
or
Vibe Slick

My biggest concern is what will fit (or fit the best at least), and what will sound good together. I know someone recently did the 100 KRS with the Vibes, but I don't think they replaced the rear doors. Would the 100 KRS even fit in the rears? And does the 100 CVX even fit in any of those spots?

I appreciate the help, I think the products are about as narrowed down as I can get it short of just buying it.

I don't doubt it, he already helped me a lot. That's why I was trying to get opinions here. I didn't want to go back to him after a few months with more questions, I wanted to be ready to pull the trigger. I've narrowed it down to the Morel HO II in the front, and I'm going to get his opinion on the rest of the speakers.

Other than that, I'm planning on setting up an install with them next month.

what amps are you using?
if you want my advice, i'd say get the amp(s) installed first
and listen
the logic 7 speakers are not bad
i used them in my 08 with aftermarket amps
and they sounded pretty good

if you dont like the after you install the amps, you haven't lost anything, take them out and replace them
but its worth a shot

That's one thing I'm clearing up with Ken, but I think the idea was:

Arc Audio Mini 500.1 for the sub
Arc Audio Mini 125.4 for the fronts and underseat woofers
And a JBL MS-8 as well

Everything he told me is spot on . The biggest mistake you can
make with him is not following his advice and deciding to do it your way.
I am only echoing his advice or what I think would be his advice.
So you should go to the source.
I guess you do have to keep it in your budget though.
I do think he doesn't like the surround sound setup as much as a straight forward system though.

I have morel dotechs in the front and Jehnerts in the floors plus a jl 600/6
as per Kens advice the rears are pretty useless with this setup. It has amazing
accuracy.

Yea, I'm sure he'll voice his opinion. My budget is around $3000-3500, including install. I will probably end up sticking with upgraded fronts for now.
