I was really looking to repair rather than upgrade, so I was looking for similar speakers rather than how to improve the sound drastically - it just happened that the choice of 2ohm speakers was quite slim and these worked out well.

Great write up, we used to supply Focal speakers for the home setup and all speakers require matching with head units, the source. B&W are also a great choice and worth a mention if you are doing upgrades, do the speaker cables where ever possible too, why put expensive kit in and connect it with cheap cable, you lose so much quality through interconnects and cheap cabling. |

Cabling doesn’t have to be expensive to be good. It just need to be the right cabling for this distance |

Actually, there is nothing wrong with well-crimped spade connectors either, the internet is dedicated to that topic as well. The car I rebuild had some horrid soldered splices causing 'gremlins' due to fatigue in the stress points. Something that is totally avoidable with a well-crimped connection.

This might be the slowest follow-up to a post ever, but as I recently got a bit more serious about my audio tweaking and got myself a calibrated mic, this is what the RR looks like when tested with a calibrated microphone after the Focal speaker enhancements.
