I have a v70 2004, I've upgraded the system to high performance from performance (hu603) with the pa200 amp.
I have ordered 2 front door premium tweeters and planned to switch out the high performance ones(since they are so cheap anyways), but now im wondering if I should get the pa300 or if the pa200 amp is enough?
Would there be any difference having the pa300 instead of pa200 even with only high performance speakers?
Another thought I had was to switch out the rear door speakers to premium aswell, though I'm sure I'd need the pa300 for that.

When I installed Focal ISS165 in front doors, it broke the stage completely and left me unhappy. You have to match speakers sensitivity very closely. Had to upgrade rears as well, to ICU165.

Not sure which speakers were in your car. My had white labels (crap), paired with HU-650 (utter crap). Maybe it is a different thing if you upgrade blue label speaker to the yellow (or which one is better, I forgot?).
