Makkan's got Focal K2's installed, get in touch with him, he rates them very highly

I've got Focal 100CA installed as my center speaker, they are great bang for buck..

General feedback on most of the forums is that the Focal's are a bit bright but I found them allright. Makkan should provide a better insight...

Had Focal in my E90, very good for the money but found the tweeters a tad too bright / harsh. That could have been better tuned via my Audison Bit One but as Rudz has said, your man for this is Makkan.

If you're not exactly looking to spend mega bucks, Focal is a very good upgrade and not the entry level either so nice medium level!

Late to the party.
Focal are very good. Strong side is that they are very sensitive and produce sound even with a low input.

They are even a good upgrade even if you are not amping.

One pair is already for sale in classified section.

I have KRS components and really like them

Hi thanks for the advice.
Only thing I'm concerned about is taking up boot space which I would prefer not to do but am undecided at mo.

makkan00 · 07-11-2013, 02:54 PM

your link is not working.

mikeoz · 07-11-2013, 02:56 PM

Link above?
If so its just one a audio company sent not worth looking at really.

You'll need processor for that.
L7 oem or ms-8.
Rudz is running ms-8. One of my early work and one example of excellent SQL in his car.
