Whatz up with Focal speakers?

I was looking into the Focal component speaker line. I'm not trying to spend $500 on some speakers, but maybe around $200. Does Focal have a line that's around that price, but it's still a great sound compared to Infinity's Kappa line?

The focal Acess line of compionents sound at least 4 times better than the infinity kappa or perfect line. Go to www.woofersetc.com to get a set for under $200.

The polykevlar sound good. I have heard some good and bad opinions on the access line though.

I got mine for $300 at Custom Sounds in STL. These are pretty marked up, I think I saw them on the net at Sound domain for around 260. I got the Polyglass line.

I love my polykevlars.....AWESOME sound speakers, so clear and refined when you tune them right, and they get LOUD without distortion, just watch your crossover for how much bass you got going to them and you are set!

Honestly try and take a look at the Eclipse componenets, they are great for the price. This may also sound bias for recommending these because I do have a pair for sale that is a month old and still under warranty.

Yeah, me too! Is it better to put the dynamat on the whole door or just around the hole where the speaker goes? The same for the trunk...wait that's a stupid question, since I will probably have two 10'' subs. Yet, is it also possible to dynamate the underside of the rear deck?
