Posted October 29, 200420 yr For those of you that have owned both pair OR heard both pair in a similar environment please comment on which you prefer and why?I am in the market for a nice set for components, and I am being torn between several sets. A new set just came up... Seas. I had never heard of them before, and someone told me they are the best sounding speaker for the money. I was just wondering how they hold up against the Focal 165K2P comps since I have listened to them extensivly.Thanks for the information...
October 29, 200420 yr Seas, huh?i run the focal 165v's in my truck and like them..as long as i only use the h/u to power them. i have amped them with just 35wrms and the tweeters getting way to harsh at higher volumes. the midrange is exceptional, however, when they are crossover correctly.....long story. i would prefer they had a silk or soft dome tweeter for powering them with anything more then say 20wrms...btw, mine are the polyglas..like 2 steps down from teh k's i believe.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
October 29, 200420 yr I had the 165k2's amp with 75 RMS and they sounded great. I did also use a 30 band eq to smoth things out some:) They had great low end extension and the tweets were very nice. In the crossovers I did have the tweets all the way down though. Not sure if they are worth the price though.Note sure on the Seas though, never used them.
October 29, 200420 yr Author ok, well i am so tempted to get the 165k2p's from my local dealer cause i KNOW how awesome they sound. and thats with just the headunit no amp. I cant imagine how good they sound with 200W thrown at them.i think i make a decision, and then some other type of speaker pops up like the Brax Graphic 6 series. this guy is selling his $1400 retail speaker components for 500 shipped! they are only 1 month old too. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.... what to do???
November 3, 200420 yr Admin I have only heard the Sea's once, and they were not adjusted to my liking, they were in a carolla and the mid bass was not prevalent enough
