Had 2 sets of their components in an A3 and my old Mk2 and they were fantastic.  The 11" utopia sub is supposed to be amazing too.  The only reason I went for JL's in my Mk2 now is because I got them extremely cheap!

The only thing that lets them down is they are made in France  :sick:

i remember when they first came on the scene and ive had 2 lots of 6x9's, 1 set of components and i cant fault them mate. The quality of sound is excellent, they are similar to Rockford products and they underate the actual output.

Focal are very good but I find them quite sharp and a bit too bright for my liking.

They are one of the better SQ makes.

Also, you get what you pay for generally. So depends on how into car audio you are, as to whether they're worth it.

Depends what range of focals your talking about too.
How your going to install them, will you be tunning them, etc too many variable to take into account.

Ive just had fitted focal speakers fitted in my audi A4 (front & rear) and Im not really that impressed  :embarassed:

They where expensive and I expected great quality sound but I would say they sound no better than my standard audi speakers.

In fact id go so far to say the original speakers handled bass alot better and sounded better

Just my opinion  :smiley:

They were installed by Autosounds, Newcastle. Straight swap for the originals.

I didn't get amp fitted with them so it'll be the original amp..............

I know they would be better with an amp but I still expected more than ive got, plus I have to go back saturday cause one of the front speakers isn't putting out any sound  :cry:

All in all I think its £500 not very well spent so far  :embarassed:
