I just watched the installation video, apart from needing a rivet gun it looks pretty easy, the question is are the speakers any good and how much are they?

Q: How much are they?
A: Don't know but focals are not cheap. Think I read 279 euro
Q: Are they any good?
A: Focal make fantastic speakers some of the best in the world.

Question s would the standard head unit be powerful enough for any real sound improvement or would they need an amp?

Depends on your definition of improved sound quality.
The myth is you need power but anyone that's heard a sq competitors car like Andy Wehmeyers Volvo will understand that setup tune and high sensitivity speakers meen you don't need lots power for normal listening levels. But everyone will tell you otherwise as its the marketing myth drummed into everyone as gosbal truth.

It looks a lot of work and money for something that may or mayn't improve the quality of your music...Just turn the knob up and open the windows....
