Default Need help with Component choice!!!

I have pretty much narrowed my choice down to the MB Quart QM218.61 6.5 Component set (wish I could afford the QSD's ) or the Focal PolyKevlar 165K Set. Which of the two would be best? BTW I have an Alpine CDA-7897 on the way and still deciding on the amp. For now, all I plan on doing is the head unit, front door speakers, and an amp. TIA

Both will sound very good. Much of it depends on the amp too though. It's a toss up, get what you want.

Get whichever you find cheaper. Both are excellent choice of components.

Thanks for the inputs! I'm pretty sure I'll run them on the Fosgate 700X amp. I found a good deal on one and I've always liked them in the past. I have also found a good deal on a set of Diamond Audio M561. Anyone know much about these? Thanks!
