    Even with the YT compression, it still sounded really good via headphones. Very impressive for a low power system. Too bad there aren't any mics that can do sub demos justice. I also don't think smoking the sub voice coils is part of the normal "break in" process. 🤣

    I’m loving my Focal Flax Evo series. They are a great upgrade from the Morels I had, which IMO are junk overpriced speakers, especially the CDM 700 midranges which gave off some weird resonance sounds. Focal is certainly superior.

But they don’t make any that fit in my current car…Feel free to give me some feedback!

    I bought these from crutchfield last year. These tweeters were marketed as "silk aluminum". At first, I thought the tweeter sounded well enough...but with time, the plastic sound in the highs really annoyed me. I then realized that "silk aluminum" isn't a thing. It's mylar. It's a cheap mylar tweeter. I contacted Crutchfield about their mis-marketing. They cited Focal, as that was the factory language. Crutchfield later changed their website though...so at least I was an agent for change in truthful advertising. I could have taken them all out and returned them...but it's just a freaking hassle. So I just kept them. The whole experience did rob me of enjoyment and contentment from the system I installed. Very annoyed at their marketing misinformation. I felt lied to...

    Doubtful, it's that all these brands don't manufactur everything in house, they buy private label.....meaning there's some cheap manufacturer in another country and they come out with a product then sell it to all the brands with branded for them. A LOT of 'high end' brands do private label, especially for their mid and lower tier products, and mark it up like 5x.

    I just installed the focal auditor rse165 the cage on it made it horrible to install a lot of cutting spacer and adapter rings to make them fit.

So the question is should I just replace all the speakers with focal since they are amplified or replace that with the axxcess dsp and do a 4 channel? I was gonna use the focal access

    I just installed the auditor rse 165 the woofers are great even setting the ranger to 70hz still bumps hard the only thing I didn’t like are the tweeters don’t seem to get that loud kind of like an annoying high pitch whisper. These vocals are better than my massive audio component which everyone always ask where I’m hiding my subs because those speakers bump but these are even better minus the tweets.

    For the focal they are labeled and the pins for the woofer and tweeters are different can’t mix them up since tweeter connections are smaller. If they are not focal in the components they are usually labeled woofer and tweeter.
