Every speaker manufacturer makes many lines of product. To lump a brand into "best" or "worst" is not really possible save a few. Focal makes automotive speaker sets from $100/pr to $20,000/set. Also, higher end speakers will always require wire, deadener, proper installation, and quality amplification to have an optimum experience. I have not heard the Sinfoni so I have no comment on how no Focal speaker can sound as good as these but when the Sinfoni become an ashtray, LaserSVT will say that about his next magic drivers too.
No. They are very high end and are better than 80% of the stuff out there but there is better. There isnt a Focal made that can sound as good as these Sinfonis.
I agree but have actually achieved the exact sound I had been chasing for years. I now have audio nirvana. There will be one small change to a tweeter that sounds identical but can mount easier and get a bit more on axis. Other than that these sound absolutly fan fucking tastic! They are not speakers, they are instruments. So much detail in songs now and nothing sounds fake. Just spectacular.
Spoke with many amp gurus and the consensus is there is not a cleaner amp I can get, the Pioneer deck is the cleanest thing made and I used the right wire and sound mats so the truck is as good as it can get. It is by far and away the best sounding stereo I have ever owned. Pure audio nirvana.
Well I am in shock and have a bit of disbelief. The P99 sounds so much better than the 80PRS I am stunned. Running both with the same crossover points and with the EQ flat and auto EQ off the P99 is head and shoulders better. After using its auto EQ it does a much better job of tuning the system in. I am only using a handful of halb DB cut/gains in a few areas I like more impact with.
Its time to get serious and I need someone with an ear and equipment to help tune it in. Looking at the old EQ curves saved in it I see massive cut/gain adjustments separate for left and right so I know I have tons of room for improvement.
One thing I didnt like was the auto EQ changing the crossovers. It sent my tweeters to 1.15 Khz and my mids at 50hz. I adjusted that before I tweeked the EQ but really am just cracking into this thing. Took forever to get it in the dash, so much more wire and then with the BT module cable.... was able to find just the right spot for every wire to hide in. LOL
Chassis is so pretty its a shame I have to hide it.
Truck has a few more upgrades in route like a DEX-P99 and a few other goodies. Figured it was time to get serious with the Marks stereo so I made my friend yank all the crappy MN Quart amps and Infinity speakers and make it a bit nicer.
Boston SPG-555 subs
Focal K2 Power 3-way components
JL Audio slash series amps.
Have some work left on the box. It will be on isolation feet to decouple it from the car. Also we have 240 square feet of CLD to lay down..... good fun. LOL
