the sub is really bassy (get what ya pay for eh ;) ) and it sounds good, but i want it louder, i cant turn the bass up anymore cos its drowning the fronts, ive got them infinitys but is it worthwhile upgrading to focals, or getting another set of components up front? i dont really wanna start hacking away at door cards and dash etc, dont get me wrong theyre pretty loud components but i wanna get another sub so its ground moving :cool: and i refuse to put 6x9s in cos they interfere with the sound quality
or does anyone else know of any other decent components for around the £200 mark. i know the focal polyglass sound amazing compared to the infinity, they can handle a damn sight more power too...... i know oxygen audio are good anyone got any ideas? please?
cheers in advance :smiley:

cook focals like that and focal won't want to know. even if they're a week old they're right sods when it comes to burnt out speakers.

have to admit the amp scared the sh!t outta me and i blew it before i took it to the car audio place
they started laughing when i showed them what i had done :grin:

in one of ur other posts u said u spent 1000 on ur headunit
what did you?

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: )

200 for sub
100 for fronts

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!

fronts are amped, and i hve a decent amp, mine won amp of the year, the 2ch model so i got the 5ch model, best amp ive ever had and bloody powerful too :grin:
-
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:

oi oi!!
