| loudsystem's Full Review: Focal 165W Car Component System |
Here is my system lay out. Pioneer DEH9400MP, Brax X1400 bridged delivering 200 watts rms x2 to the mids, one ARC Audio 2500XCL bridged on one ID MAX 12in woofer in a sealed box. After dynamatting my doors then installing the Focal woofer in the doors and setting the tweeters up it was time to have some fun. I set the eq and got out some music. At first i didnt cross the drivers over just to test their limits. Well they dont really have any. They played VERY low and when turned up the bass coming from the doors would vibrate your pants. After not believing that all of the bass was just coming from the doors since the sub was off i showed a few friends. NONE of them believed that they were just hearing the door speakers. After playing we then crossed them over @ 70HZ so we could play more vocals through them with out them having the duty of playing bass too. I used 5 different cds. Three of the cds were Focal disc 1, 3, and 4. The other two discs were Madonnas Imaculate Collection and the Iasca 01 disc. Every track blew me away. They played everything you gave them. The crossovers had the tweeters turned on the lowest setting since i my self am not a fan of treble. The tweeters are some of the best ive heard yet. They played very crisp and detailed and there was not a single bit of harshness. The midrange part of the tracks sounded awesome. Over all the speakers let you hear parts of your favorite songs you didnt even know existed. Parts of songs you remember now sound different and sounds more real. Your music comes alive with these speakers. I recommend these speakers to ANYONE who wants some of the best speakers on the car audio market.
