I think the size I need is 5" according to what I've read. I have focal cms65 monitors in my studio at home and they are amazing so I thought about going with focal for my car too. What would you recommend? Should I get 2 or 4? I don't think i'll bother with a sub or separate amp for the time being. Would I need anything to mount them on etc? Thanks
sorry i am not familiar with your car at all...but will say this, I used focals years ago in one of my cars, very musical and very detailed in the sound. They have a good reputation for sound. But i would also suggest adding an amp with them to realize the full potential of the drivers, even a 50watt per channel amp will make a dramatic difference. (of course more is better). the thing about alot of these high end drivers is the fact that they usually arent very efficient....so more power is key to getting the dynamic range and sound quality you want. As for 1 or 2 pairs.....Myself....i would do the front first and add about 100 watts per channel to them...leave the rears alone for now and upgrade later...
Yeah I think i'll just do the front - I don't think my 106 Inca has rear speakers currently so fitting could be a hassle anyway. Yeah their CMS65 studio monitors and they blow me away with their detail and sonic elegance so I'd expect their car speakers to be good too - seem to use a lot of the same technology. I think I might try just using my head unit integrated amp at first and if i need more upgrade to a dedicated amp and maybe sub Cheers
