txboy96 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm wanting to get a set of components. I currently have Focal PS165 components installed but I want something that has a warmer sound and not so harsh with more mid-bass. My price range is $300 but willing to spend more. The 3 audio shops in town only sell Kicker, Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, JL so going to them is pointless. What set would you recommend? I don't need anything extreme, my goal is to just have a system that sounds good and can get loud when I want it to without distortion. My subs are 2 kicker comp r 10 (bought them when I knew nothing) but I want to upgrade to 1 12. I have a single cab truck so I wanna try to save space and get a smaller enclosure with 1 12. What sub would you recomend? I can spend $250-300 on sub. I already have an amp for the sub and components. Thanks to anyone that replys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrakes Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 What amps do already have? And is the $300 budget for the sun and speakers? Or is that per item?

Skullz Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Best bang for buck comp set. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12260_JBL-P660C.html They were just $99, but even at this price point of $119 they are well worth it. Personally i would save and get a set of hertz HSK165's as they'll do everything you want and sound amazing. I just got the JBL's on sale for my car for the time being until i can afford to do a proper sound stage with hertz equipment. EDIT: As cablguy said, prep your doors proper and you'll be amazed at how well speakers sound afterwards. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk13 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 You already have a $300+ component set. There's nothing wrong with the PS series Focals at all. Like mentioned by the guys above, woofer placement and front/rear isolation, hopefully within a large enclosure like a door, is key for mid-bass response. Q-forms or even a well built kick panel without proper air space will rarely give decent mid-bass, regardless of woofer. Static drops are my bag.
