Yeah, I've heard about Woofersetc. Focal's still pricey no matter where they're purchased.

Thanks,

Gary

If buying Focal, be sure you hear them first. Focal speakers, while great, have a unique presence which isn't to everybody's liking.

I have a car with Focals mated to a McIntosh system and it's fantastic. But, I know several people who were disappointed with the sound of the focals they installed.

They're spendy, so be sure you hear them first.

What model Focals are you using?

Would putting in the best 4" Focal coaxials that are made even be a considerable upgrade(considering I like the characteristics of the sound) to the cheesy yet semi decent OEM component system with the rat poop sized crossover for the tweeter.

I've always been under the impression that coaxials are a very outdated design.
