I believe the Performance Series by Focal is the "equivalent," at least as far as pricing goes. Many of the HSK-165s of eBay are fakes, though DragginFrame bought a set of the fake speakers and said they were good quality.

I have a full focal system in my wifes car. I'm running the red 4 chan and it over heats like crazy. Make sure you put in in a good spot to keep it cool. I added an extra fan and it still overheats when I drive it hard. It usually lasts about 35 minutes.

I have an Arc in my SS and have had ZERO issues with it, other than I blew my sub.
