  1. I'm so excited!
  2. UPS sent that in one piece. I wasnt gonna give USPS another shot. Quick question Nick, any reason the sub wasnt in a crate?
  3. Finally got back my 15" BL from Fi When i bought it from Joseph K., upon delivery, USPS dropped it and broke it. Soo, using the insurance money i reconed it to a 15" from a 10" Before After First impression= Damn that's huge! Thanks for everything FI, another satisfied customer.
  4. I literally said "omg!" at 1:55, haha. Metered?
  5. He is THE ONE. . . . Lmao i was gonna say "besides being THE ONE" in my OP haha
  6. Whats so special about Neo?
  7. Would just one layer of damplifier on my trunk lid be enough to stop the annoying rattle that you hear outside of the car? I can't imagine that it would help much for inside the car, im just tryin to stop the outside rattle of my trunk.
  8. Are you using the aux input or the usb cord?
  9. You get what you pay for man.... (A little less than what you pay for with Alpine and a lot more than what you pay for with Fi)
  10. HAHAHAHAHAHA Crapco Stupid Little Children Genius
  11. i'm not worried about the power...will the RF sound much better on 2 type r 12" 1243 or 1223s? No, it will not sound better or worse for that matter. Buy what fits your budget and has the features you need. well then what are the real-world advantages to buying a t1500-1bdcp over keeping my current powerbass asa1500.1dx? (sorry i know that probably sounds like a stupid question) The brand names. There's definitely no $300ish worthy advantages. (if that makes any sense)
  12. 80 lbs?? holy shitt....
  13. Where you located at? I live right in clio (15 mins from flint)
  14. If you look at the truly high end companies, that is not out of line. The Utopias are really some of the nicest sets out there. You can look at the Rainbow CS360.30 Passive Reference set at $13,000, and it's sister the CS36.30 Active (just the drivers) for $11,350.00. Or if you would rather be cheap, they have a 2 way offering, the CS260.30 Reference which is a passive set for $7,400. These sets offer a certain amount of detail and sound that you won't get from a $200 component set. But they offer so much that they can show off any imperfections in the signal chain. So guys running these are running Milbert tubes or Sinfoni solid states, and they have amazing installs. Yes, in some people's opinions these sets are worth it. They feel there is no point of diminishing returns. The differences are so subtle that most couldn't pick them up, but critical listeners can. When you step into the realm of true audiophile quality you are stepping into another world. Home speakers can go for half a million dollars, is it worth it? Are they made of gold? To the people willing to spend the time and money on these systems, yes they are. Many people I know who don't care about car stereos shit themselves when they hear what kind of investment I have in my cars. Hell, most people here would scoff at the cash that has been shoveled into my front stage, as they prefer tons of overbearing bass to real sound quality. If I were running a vehicle set up well enough for a set of Utopias I might own a set, although I like the Seas Lotus RS-165/1 set's sound better, and I like it's $1700 pricetag much better as well... But what really matters is the system as a whole when you reach this level of performance. You can't toss a set of Utopias in stock locations with a Cadence amp and expect it to be worth that kind of money... However as a general rule I don't like Focal. The tweeters are extremely crisp, and very forward. To me it is like jamming glass in my ears. I greatly prefer a more delicate silk tweeter, and a more laid back mid to the aggressive Focal mids. So to answer your question, yes the Utopias are like sex with Jennifer Aniston and Megan Fox, and Bree Olsen all at the same time, but their regular everyday line is more like sex with this chick: I'd hit it Very nicely put. My friends flip out when i tell them i spent $290 on a BL, imagine if I spent $7000.
  15. that depends on your definition of "better" some people want loud, some people want clear, some people want status symbols and buy something just because of a name or price tag. does a mercedes do a better job of getting you from point A to point B than a kia? no, but im sure if you had the means, you would entertain the thought of putting a benz in the driveway (with focal speakers in it). be an educated consumer and buy what fits your needs. I want one really bad just because I'll never have it lol
  16. Their 18" woofer's $1,899 lol I mean we all know we can do better than that
  17. Thats like a lot of things in life , there are $10-20 bottles of Hennessey and there are $3000-$6000 bottles of Hennessey as well. Some things are not made for everyone to have but trust me some people out there will buy it and enjoy it. Well put
  18. Everybody says the highs are sharp
  19. Our Focal rep has a set Well of course he does lol How nice is it?
