What should I buy on Amazon?

[nuggstein]

I have accumulated about $350 worth of Amazon gift cards and $500 worth of Amazon points for using their credit card for a few years. What should I buy?

Focal speaker upgrade kit

Tell me about this. Aren't these just front speaker replacements? How is the sound difference? I've been thinking about getting a Bazooka sub and prevent the bass from coming out of the main 8 speakers.

yes they are just front speaker replacements, 4 pieces. + a lot of nice accessories for install. equal to dynaudio in my opinion, i would not get it if you already have dynaudio. but for base system, a nice upgrade allowing you to go 3-5 volume higher then you do now, without distortion. or watch my install video.

I am at work so I can't watch the video now, but wouldn't the rear speakers have to be replaced as well? Won't there still be distortion coming from the rear speakers when upping the volume, or are the rear speakers handled differently?

in a perfect world, maybe. i don't hear any distortion from them personally.

I hope you use the Amazon credit card then like I do. 3x points on everything sold by Amazon! 2x on food and gas!

Hmmm, that's a pretty decent deal actually. Might look into it. Right now I've been getting 5% back on online purchases with discover. I already have about four cards so I sort of hesitate to get more.

I was thinking of getting these earlier last summer. They were going for $350 installed, but I wanted 3 way speakers. I found it dumb that focal would go to the trouble of making a replacement kit which only replaces 2 out of the 3 speakers (1 tweeter) that go in each front door.

dood... this is a MK6 kit. there are only 2 speakers in each door.. not the MK5 setup which speaker placement sucked even if you replaced it.
