Hi all,

Im going to upgrade my speakers in my focus. Ive got the following head unit:

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/10210.html

Im looking at components and ive found two but cant choose between them. These are the two sets:

Alpine: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2849.html
Hertz: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/8399.html

With the hertz i will need adaptors to fit them and the alpine I wont. I wont be useing and amp as im not wanting to spend that much. I have a 10" Fli active sub in the boot.

Which would you recommend that will work better with my headunit without an amp?

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't recommend running ANY sub at all without an Amp, even if it's just a cheap one, you'll be much better off...

Ah. The Hertz seem to get good reviews, but the people in the thread mention Tweeter issues:
