I was surfing Focal's website, and came across the Focal Utopia 5WS, which is a 5 3/8-inch long-throw subwoofer. I'm considering putting them into the rear fill enclosures in my 300ZX because there is very little space in my car for anything bigger than a sealed 10", and even then I would have...

Well... the nicest looking amp that doesn't ****.... I really like the Brax and Helix amps but they are so expensive: http://www.audiotec-fischer.com/index2.html

Does it have any effect on SQ?

Thanks for the recommendations.

I need at least 75 watts per channel. The flatter it is, the less I have to raise the floor of my trunk.

My installer recommended an Audison amp to power my front 6.5" Focal Utopias. Audison amps are more expensive than average, but I'm wondering if they're worth the money compared to, say, an MTX or Alpine.

I am planning to install a sub in a small sealed enclosure in my spare tire well facing upwards towards towards my hatch glass. I'm thinking of Focal (Polyglass) 27V. Are these subs any good? I'm mostly looking for SQ. (I have Focal 165W in front) Any opinions would be appreciated. Dan

I am considering buying a 4 year old McIntosh MC420MB amp for $800 Canadian ($500 USD). I've always been a fan of McIntosh amps but I wonder if amps have a typical lifespan. I don't want to buy the used amp if it means I will have to replace it soon. Also, are the 50W per channel that the...

Lots of good things have been said about the Focal Utopia line but I don't hear much about Focal's less expensive Polykevlar line. I've heard the 165K2 (polykevlars) and was quite happy with the sound but I couldn't do any back-to-back comparisons with other brands. Does anyone have an opinion...

Are they any good? I have to decide between uDimension u-Pro10.4x, Alpine MRV-F540, or perhaps a McIntosh (if I can afford it). I like the uDimension because it can fit vertically behind the seats of my 2-seater. Space is an issue in my car. I just need to know if it measures up against the...

Hi, I need suggestions for subs that will sound good in a very small sealed box, preferably 10 litres (0.35cu ft) or so. This is to fit in the spare tire well of my 1995 300ZX. I am primarily interested in 10" subs with good SQ. I know the Rockford Fosgate Punch10 and the Focal 27V might fit...

I've heard the Focal Polykevlars and I am very impressed. Not so impressed with the Polyglass. However, I can get a good price on Alpine. Does anyone have experience with the Alpine Type-X components? How do they compare with the Focals and with the Alpine Type-R's? I'm looking for best SQ...
