Re: Where to buy Focal speakers.

if you want, PM me.

i recently installed 165KP and 165CV in my coupe.

got them from an authorized dealer who installed it for me. I'm sure he can sell you just the speakers.

i got them for a couple of bucks more expensive than you would find from an un-authorized internet retailer.

Re: Where to buy Focal speakers.

Honestly go with MB's Focal is over rated and too expensive. I worked at a sound shop for 2 yrs ive had both in my car no one will ever touch MB's vocal sounds and in my opinion. yes focals look bitchen but looks dont sound good. but focals do sound amazing too...

Just thought I would put my $0.02 in overall i think MB is better buy for the $

Re: Where to buy Focal speakers.

You have to listen to the speakers. MBQ's highs seemed more shrill and shrieky to me. Others love them. The Focals seemed less hyped in the high end. In the final analysis, it doesn't matter what I think about how they sound or what anyone else does either. You'll have to live with them in your car, pick what you think sounds best.

BTW, either brand is well thought of in terms of manufacture quality.

Re: Where to buy Focal speakers.

If you're talking about front components. MB's are 4Ohm and Focal are 8Ohm. Focals will be a better upgrade if you just want to upgrade the speakers and MB will be a better choice if you're putting nice amp in since they are very power-hungry.

My 0.02 cents.
