Full Active 3 Way Focal Speakers
Having had a set of focal access 2 way components I decided to upgrade to these 3 way components as a little present to myself and my car.I however decided to take the upgrade one step further and install these in a fully active setup meaning I didn't use the included crossovers and instead used a audison audio processor and 2 4 channel amplifiers to power each speaker individually.Paired with a set of cnc machined speaker pods these fitted perfectly on the a pillars of my car.Once these speakers had been broken in for about 24 hours of play time I did another tune on the system.My god what a set of speakers! They sound amazing!I have heard these on the included crossovers and they sound brilliant when not installed how I have installed mine.For the money you can't go wrong!The highs are clear and the mids are buttery smooth! The woofers give a good punch even down to 60hz.Overall a fantastic set of speakers for the price point!

5* For sound quality, but....
Unfortunately quality control doesn't appear to be up to the same standard as the sound quality, I had a faulty crossover unit, which could have been a major pain in the rear had it not been for the fact that the company I paid to install my audio gear have offered to arrange a replacement for me to save me the hassle of having to post it back to the supplier. So a huge thumbs up to Turnbulls Radio for superb customer service !Nevertheless, even with 1 woofer not working, these speakers sound fantastic, such a massive difference to the stock speakers. I've always had Alpine fitted in the past but having bought a pair of Focal Aria 906's for home which I've been hugely impressed with I thought I'd give Focal car speakers a go. Apart from the above mentioned problem I am not disappointed as they already sound clearer and more detailed than the Alpine speakers I had in my last car. With the crossover changed and the other woofer working no doubt they'll be better still as they're just a bit lacking on the bass front at the moment unsurprisingly. Paired with a Pioneer media player and Pioneer GM-D1004 45W rms per channel amp FLAC files sound superb and it's plenty loud enough to drown out the road/wind noise on the motorway in a convertible. The speakers were a straight swap for the originals in a Z4 (hidden behind the standard grills) and the amp is completely out of sight so they shouldn't attract thieves hopefully, but even if they did the entire setup was cheaper than my old alpine subwoofer amp alone.

Top quality for the money.
Top quality speakers. Great clear and powerful sound. installed in a range rover classic and they are a huge upgrade over anything I have had in it before. Excellent crossovers. A real quality product.
