Fake Focals....I love it.

As some may have already seen....

http://www.focal.tm.fr/COUNTERFEITING/website.htm

This is more directed to all of those that said.."Counterfeiting? This is car audio, not Rolexs and Gucci bags. People dont make Fake amps and speakers."

Also of course applies to the people that just Love to shop the net for them "great" deals.

Feel better now kiddies? Just a lil bit of reality to mix in with your choice of drink.

I think one of the guys on that UK forum said that the fakes he had sounded a little better than stock speakers.

I heard about the fake focals a couple months ago but I KNOW my utopias (from ebay) are definitely the real deal. That would definitely suck to buy some fake focals,,,,
