Focal prices + new alpine subs

kpr10is · 03-29-2004, 08:04 PM

For the Utopia 165W's, 6.5" 2 way components, the Focal brochure says suggested retail $1099!!! I almost choked. What would be a non-played out brand of amazing speakers that wouldnt cost so much, or does anyone have any hook ups?

discuss

Also, who has heard about the Alpine Type X subwoofers and what do you think.

I just got my catalog in and I have the K2 Power 130CV's, but I heard some Utopia's the other day and they absolutely rocked.

I think mine will sound close enough if I had my door speakers in....lol
