Focal speakers
I've seen many threads on focal and now fancy myself a set. Which ones are people using?? Also is it worth putting extra sound proofing in the dash to remove the echo?

Good luck fitting anything in behind there & I doubt it would make much difference either. Soundproofing the footwells seatboxes and so on is worth doing though. Various brands Noisekiller Dynamat ect and so other stuff on E-bay cheaper too. Regards Focal I have Kenwood kit so can't comment. Thumbs Up Chillin In The BackwoodsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Focal are pretty high end audiophile stuff. You'll never ever hear what they are all about in even the most soundproofed of Defenders.

I purchased an active sub today as from various reads and advice it seems to be the simple route to sound depth. I went for the focal 25cm unit, mainly because at £210 new I couldn't resist the deal Thumbs Up Darren

I just fitted a focal sub and left the OEM speakers, sounds fine for a defender, why not try a sub first and go from there ?

I am planning in fitting mine under the drivers seat in the seat box, is that where you fitted yours?

Sorry thread hijack over! Darren

my sub is fitted under the 2nd row seats, would not fit under driver seat and not sure I'd like the "feeling" of bass under my seat Laughing

Thanks for the replies. I have the sub already it's currently plummed in but lieing on the floor in the back. I was thinking about screwing it to the back of the cubby box. My wife didn't like it under the seat. I have a good head unit.

Killer I see you have we'll sound proofed your 90 where did you get your soundproofing from? I am getting the noise killer under bonnet stuff but don't mind trimming and sorting the other stuff myself. Is it best to use pads or spray on stuff I've seen?

Right I was looking at the pc100 focal speakers thought £85 was a good price.

Thanks for all the replies, I was going to swap my 90 yet again but think the money would be best put into making it a nicer place to do 500 odd miles a week on my own.
