Professional Installation is d first step but nt every installer can do it. U have to make custom fibreglass pods for mid n tweeters n position them correctly.

Secondly u need an audiophile grade HU with atleast 4 preouts to run them and ur sub and ofcourse atleast 3 amps for ur setup.

And lastly good tuning is a must. If u don have knowledge n don have good tuner around u then better play 2 way.

All this requires a hafty amount of money and time. Since u said u want a budget setup so this is not budget setup in anyway

Besides all this if u r eager to experiment then go ahead and do share ur setup here so dat the gurus can help u out with their experience n precious advice

Thanks mate.

Oh my holy lord @ 3 amps. Seriously i wanna experiment but not to that extent.
i was hoping if i could run this up with around30k pre and 15k amp (one amp only ) but three amps is a no no for me. This speaker set looked budget to me as it was for 25k. But seems like i need a lot of dough to run this

what do you say about this Focal 165 A1 Car Speaker in Pakistan-Home shopping
or Focal 165 CA1 Car Speaker Price in Pakistan-Home shopping

will one amp and a decent pre be enough for these?

[mughal90]

165A1 are good components. I used them previously but they r expensive at home shopping. Contact farzam n u cn get a better deal together with installation.

CA1 are coaxials for rear doors. U can run all 4 on 4ch amp or jus go with front components and a sub.

In 25k u can easily get Focal PS165 which r a step higher than 165A1. Do not buy any chinese stuff (pre, amp etc). If don havr budget save money n build ur system in steps.

Mughal90.. This guy is at your ultimate support, listen to him..

Focal; its like, you're driving with your girl friend, and you're not listening to her at all.. nuff said!

Thanks,

I want to experiment, and i hear that the 3 way speakers may sound very good if installed properly, i would ofcourse take professional help to get them installed,
if they are installed by a professional, will they be better? and what shall i use with it?

3 way kit is a PITA, start from a 2 way kit and than climb the ladder,

Thanks man. Yup thats what i will do now.

My first preference would be PS 165 and if i dont get them i will go for the 165 A1.
I have been going through some threads and noticed that the Pioneer GM-6500F is a fair amp. Shall i go for this pioneer or some thing else?
I am an audio noob at this moment, but i am going through the articles to understand "audio-logy" but seems like its difficult than medicine
P.S can i use the stock pre with this setup or shall i go for a replacement. I am no fan of AV and touch screens. The music i listen is mostly old school rock so i hope this setup would do the thing

Thanks for your great help dude.

6500F is a budget amp. To compliment the focals, you need something much better and cleaner. Diamond audio, Harman Kardon ca470, SS Ref 800.4, Focal solid 4 are the good lines. If you wanna go further than Adcoms, Mcintosh, Focal fp series, Alpine's PDX series are on much higher ladder.
Depends on your budget.

Thanks for the wishes..

You have to earn it, its not easy.. Its an integral part of our audio arsenal..

Do share your stories, how you started, where you are now, and what are you looking at in the future...

i am looking to hookup focal acces 165A1 in my front mehran door !!! ya me peeche rakhlon to sound to Lush ae ga na ??

[moonjee]

My apologies for the late reply, please go through this thread, I have made couple of informative posts on component placement. And 165 A1 is replaced with 165 SG, get this component and whenever you want it, let me know and I will hook you up with the reliable source.. For Mehran you need custom install, a lot of threads on PW show how to do it, you can seek help from a fellow member who owns a mehran and has a gusta setup, look him up his id is ammad_ghauri something

Hi guys,

Talhadon has recently been caught as a most wanted member, he had been trolling around for a while now, but with a great leap to Focal 165 KR We wish him good luck and happy SQing.

Pictures are awaited, both from portfolio and install.

Cheers

Adcom and McIntosh milayain *** hi nahin

I would rate Focal LE on top out of all the above mentioned obv. with the exception of Mac and Addy :P.
PDX are class D and i've heard they have a great noise print, so i think LE is the best choice in 25-30k range.

[moonjee]

Hey SQ world,

Whats being played? Recently converted two guys to Focal, will post their details soon.

Stay tuned..

[Talhadon]

Hi Guys,

Gusta morning to all SQ, SQL, SPL people out there. Keep playing.

Cheers!

nothing like coffee and your favorite track to get you started for the day

[Talhadon]

Moon why they are so Expensive ?
Can you please tell the difference as compared to normal headphones and if you compare with comps sound than with which focal comps you compare it ?
