hey guys I have to I am new to the higher end stuff, though I have have systems before.

Focal 165K3P UV (Upgraded Version) - Focal 6.5" PolyKevlar Power 3-Way Components

with the set listed above here are my questions.
they are going in either a chevy avalanche or cadilliac EXT (a piller tweets and 6.5 in both doors)
I want snappy action on my sounds. Meaning I listen to lots of rock and "indie rock"/punk though when I get subs I will throw in some 3sixmafia and rap as well. but over all I want a loud crack with snare drums and big full tom toms and HUGE crashes with cymbals with cutting hi hats! so basically I want my mids and highs to SCREAM.

now here are the issues: CAN I?
run the 2 mid bass in the back doors
run the 2 mid range in the front doors
run the 2 tweeters in the windshield piller???
can I do the above and it still ROCK?? and be a good sound stage?? The reason I would prefer this is I want to use the factory locals and not do any modding to door panels (execpt HUGE deadner)

how many channel amp will I need for this set? I am assuming 4ch (2 ch for the rear6.5 and 2ch for the front6.5/tweeters) 4 x-overs in the set right?

if a 4 channel will get the job done is 125x4 good enough to make this set scream?

It looks good to me, I did a same type of setup in my civic and used a 4 channel usamp and all I had to do was turn off sub and enjoyed the stereo with enough midbass really for any music. Im not into rap at all but some of the trance I listen to has deep bass like "4strings" and it's great.

Well I'm using dynaudio with 50rms each and it sings to me, but headroom never hurts either, I would just make sure your not clipping the amps. Im sure you can set the amps audibly so there's no clipping, you know to do that right?
