Iv got the polyglass focals in mine, cant remember what model number but know how awesome they sound! Probably a little more trebley than i expected but they are such amazing quality and with a good amp and sub makes a lovely noise.

A worthy investment imo!

(Iv got mine running of a genesis p4 ultra amp which is also astonishing. More power than as is necessary, gets little old ladies falling at my feet! :laugh: )

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

Changing fronts wont help.
Best you amp the fronts so the bass dont out gun them.

Either get a decent 4 ch amp ot a seperate 2ch for the fronts!

Simple assuming you got a decent headunit with a couple of outputs!

Thought Dizzie would have told ya this instead of salivating!

Well if its all amped then the balance aint right!

There just maybe some little knobs on this mega expensive amp that might just adjust the levels between the channels!
Then you might be able to hear the fronts! :tongue:

Its early in the morning and ive forgot y name. Anyway sassy ive got the same components in the front i think. Mine are the 16cm versions. Im also running 2 infinity perfect 12's which are ground shaking and amazing quality. My point is i have ooooodles of bass and my infinitys keep up no problem. The only thing i can think of is that you need to turn the cross over on the fronts up some more to cut out the lower notes letting you turn up the volume. On my system i can do this on the head unit but you should be able to do it on the amp too. I would compare bits with you (ooo err) but my cars kinda out of action at the mo and the stereo is stripped out.

id go with what Phil says (golfpro), my dad works at a car audio place in gt yarmouth, and has the utopias in his car and tbh i wouldnt say there was 200quids difference between the two, unless you are listening to something seriously challenging. probs something to do with the awesome Gen P4 Ultra amp that both Phil and my old man are using!!

theyre just not as loud as i want them to be, if they go any louder they distort, gunna get some oxygen audio ones i think cos mates got a set and theyre a better power rating than mine and his aint drowned out with his 4 15" subs so i guess i need to go to turners and get the nice man to twiddle my buttons a bit more  :laugh:
