On the subwoofer side I was able to tame down the midbass peaks from my sub so now its very smooth and deep.
On the fronts was were it really shined. I have much more midbass from my fronts so I hardly need to fad my sub. The focal K2P's really have a lot of punch and even with my sub off I can feel the bass in my chest. With all this extra juice going into the amp, my amp doesent have to work very hard and I have no noise or hiss at all. It fit perfectly next to my amp.
I highly recommend this tool

Did you delete the Focal crossovers and go active via the Audio Control EQX in your set-up for these speakers?
