First off, ingat sa sulit.com.ph. There are a TON of fake Focals there
But damn, it's getting harder and harder to discern them.
(Example: http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/vi...eds/id/3306382)
If not for the 8k price tag, even I can't tell if it's real. Unless you "feel" the cone, dapat mas-coarse yun original than the fakes.
Anyway,
I'll give a budget of 50k preferably. Preference is into SQ. Ears are very meticulous. Hell, my iPod has an portable amp for use and IEMs are Head-Direct re0s and re-zeros (I recommend these 100% if you're looking for earbuds. Costs like $79 via Paypal and is near UE Triple.Fi and Shure's SE530 in clarity only thing missing is the soundstage). Installation is on a Sonata Premium once I get my hands into it. Void na agad electrical wala pang 1k PMS lol! There's an external 400W amp AFAIK but I wouldn't hope too much on it.
Personally, I'll go for something like this (prices are taken from "big" companies so are expensive.. magpapagawa nalang ako sa C3 Banawe para mura)
BACONATOR MEAL
Focal 165KR (24k) - is here out of pure love for it
JL Audio W1v2 Series (7.5k) -> I find JL Audio very good in SQ. Same parent company as Kickers and MTX. 10" since 12" would be too slow.
Subwoofer Box (2.5k?)
RF Prime Monoblock 500W (10.5k) - for subwoofer (IMO, overkill. Dunno if my brother's 2x Xtant 2140's still alive. I could just bridge them * 2Ohms for 300W of power)
Powerbass ASA600.4x (10.5k) - for the speakers. I am hearing good reviews regarding it and the appearance is very sleek.
Wiring (5k)
Total: 60k
Another alternative I'm eyeing is to replace the two amps with a DLS CA51. But I believe underpowered sila.
Any feedback regarding Focal subwoofers? Di sila well-known for making good subwoofers kasi eh.
DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER MEAL, I might go for:
DLS UP6i (16.5k)
JL Audio W1v2 Series (7.5k)
DLS CA51 (21k)
Box & Wiring (7.5k)
Total: 52.5k
CHEESEBURGER MEAL (thanks for tsikotshop for tips)
Focal Access 165A1 [tama ba serial? forgot ko na eh] (9.2k) - didn't go polk here since Focal Access lineup is the BEST in this category bar none.
DB 1240 DVC 12" (5.5k)
Powerbass ASA600.4x (10.5k)
Box and Wiring (7.5k)
Total: 32.7k
So, anu mga suggestions niyo?
I'm wondering kung kukuha pa kaya ako 12" sub or just stick with 10 inches. Not a fan of bass to begin with. I just them to be fast and tight (like my re0s). 12 inchers would give better bass depth at expense of response.. hmm.. worth it kaya?
I'll also check kung ayos pa ba yun RF 500W 2-ch sub ng kuya ko. He used to power his polykevlars dito AFAIK.
I am currently observing the 2SM battery installed on my MU-X, Yuasa brand. Kaka 1 yr lang nito...
Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well
