my focals are flat agin now, i like the bright sound compared to the -3 or - 6db settings...

up to your ears aint it.

ampwise mate, get yourself a 100-120wRMS amp (per channel), drop the gains a bit and you will be all set to go :) It will improve the sound alot, but make sure you have done the -3dB drop, otherwise it will be extremelly bright up front.

as much as u can afford, i run my 75w RMS comps off a 200wRMS x 2 amp and it sounds good.

Too dark in the evening's m8 so wil have to wait til weekend, then it takes time to fit them as the autoleads adaptors dont fit round the speaker so i have to modify them to fit and then cut out the polystyrene from the door to fit the crossovers into.

anyone know what amp rating i would need if i were to amp them up?:thumbs:

i also have these speakers...i'm very happy with them...doms right...they do sound alot better hooked upto an amp...which is wot i've done..although....theres too much front sound now.....so i'm afder a 4 channel to even the sound out.:thumbs:

on the crossover mate, drop the tweeter -3dB - ie: wire the + tweeter connection to the terminal on the crossover marked "-3dB"......but its in the manual anyways :thumbs:

Also, wire them up to an amp, will improve the quality 10fold. As for bass, simply soundproof the doors...makes them sound more "sterdy" and the bass will sound pretty tight and clean :)

i have a set of these, and im really happy with them :D

they just need setting up right m8, check all the wiring.. and what adi said is correct these are mid to top end speakers and if u have cross over on the head unit to i suggest u use them and not let any of the low freq through them...... i had this mistake when i had my battery off for a few days and lost all my settings, i ended up with one blown speaker :S....

the source at tweeter and midbass is the same in the corsa b anyhoo, the std tweeter has a capacitor built onto it, so it makees no difference which one u wire it off...

tbh i find that a lot of aftermarket speakers sound a lot less bassy than the std ones but with much better trebble..

yes they have crossovers and i wired the tweeter , & woofer to the crossover. Wud it help if i took the source from the tweeters or do u think i might have got a + and - wires round the wrong way somewhere?

do they have crossovers?

did you wire the tweeter and the woofer to the crossover if so...

I have some infinity 6500's for the doors, i hav only put one side in due to the amount of work needed/ weather.I thought i wud try it to see what it sounded like and it was worse than the standard vaux speaker on the other side!, it was very tinny and had no bass even tho it was all wired up.Wud it help if i took my source input from the vaux tweeter wires instead of the woofer wires?.Or hav i done something wrong?, any help appreciated especially if anyone has wiring diagram for their comps.:thumbs:
