Ditching Focals

No the speakers hold up fine. I think they do quite well for their price ($150). But specifically for me they simply arent loud enough.

I'm running my HD-62cf's off of 75 watts (underrated) and they sound amazing.

Today yes today i went and bought some baffles for the second time (I threw my first ones away when I put the daytons in the doors) and I will say that they made a huge difference in the overall tonal quality of my speakers. I cut a hole in the bottom of the bafles to allow air to freely move while still separating the front and back waves as well as providing an adequate amount of air pressure on the back of speakers increasing thier overall accuracy.

I too have focal 165A's and yes they do lack in midbass as far as rap goes. I think they sound very good for rock and metal music. But how something sounds is different to everyone. My focals get loud enough for me when I want them to and I'm only giving them 60 watts. I am going to upgrade to Iridiums soon but going to use baffles this time, hopefully it will have more midbass and not be so harsh(I think the sound is harsh) this time.

I have the HDs in my stock doors, mid bass is great in a IB setup, gets even better if you can make or buy baffles. With 150 rms to each side they get very loud and stay very clean. I love the 1" silk tweets.

I cant tell you exactly how much because the set I bought is the '04 model, they may have gone up. Just contact him and talk to him he is a great guy and has lots for feedback on this forum.

Cheap baffles. add polyfill and your set

jntar,

Would you still need to use a sound deadner with the baffle and polyfill? Or would the baffle and polyfill be enough?

Yes. The speaker produces sound with or without the baffle. The door will vibrate whether or not the midbass is tighter. Deaden the door, you'll be happy you did.
