Plan to upgrade my ICE and need to test 1st;

Looking at entry level Focal Access components, is the aluminum tweeters sound too harsh?

RM2.5k for component speakers, 4 channel amplifier, and HU.

RM1.5-2k for components and amp.

lol no money liao for active setup

I've got a bass tube woofer - enough cos my car is a hatch.

Maybe get a better 2-channel amp and use my current 4-channel amp to drive the woofer?

Yes that HU seriously in my mind also...I could go along this route. Is the HU power enough to drive the focal and let my current cap ayam amp to drive the subwoofer?

All cap ayam stuffs, fake Lanzar 2way components and fake 4 channel V12 MRV amp and a 8'' tube woofer. I've been contend with this setup for 4 years. HU is Kenwood kdc-u353.
