Help me pick the rest of my system

[Anthony]

Hey guys,

I currently have:

This head unit: pioneer avh 3100dvd

These subs: 2 Alpine Type R 12's

These amps (1 on each sub): Alpine PDX-1.600

Now I'm looking to upgrade from the factory Bose to aftermarket components and get a good 4 channel Amp

Please advise me what 4 channel amp+ Components to get:

I'm lookin' at these 6.5 inch components now:
-6.5 inch Infinity Kappa Perfect
-FOCAL 165 A1 6.5

If we get them about the same time i might be able to get them with mine.. im paying 25% of retail for the whole benz.. no promises.. but its possible...

If you go to google and type Focal vs Infiniti.. i guess alot of people have asked this specific question.. the results are pretty much 3:1


1 set of 165cvx 6.5
2 sets of 165ca1 6.5 and
1 set of Focal 165ca 5.25

300 yards... running 50w rms per speaker 2 Rockford 4 channel amps 400.4
(there is NO static or distortion in the speakers, the cam phone mic wasnt capable of handling it)

IM running about $12,000 in focal shit in this benz.. hell the rear sub is $1500 .. and the components retail at 900-1300 per set.. (2 sets of 3 ways 2 sets of components 2s) and 2 sets of coaxials.. and all focal amps...

and IF it goes through.. its not uncommon to order an extra set or two that doesnt make it into the final design.. (aka your shit) lol..

Regardless.. you already know how i feel.. A: focal all the way.. and B: if i can hook you up i will...

IM not getting the benz till the 10th though.. supposedly its mine.. but its still at benz getting a new powerstearing pump and they cracked the oil sending unit.. so it might not happen soon enough..

I'm in no rush to buy ASAP MOB, jus PM me when you find out what model you can get/price and we can work something out.

My friend just got 2 sets of 6.5" focal utopias, do you recommend them?

IF oyu can afford them i dont think anyone can argue.. they are the best speakers you can buy.. even Audiophile websites who review hundreds of thousand dollar home systems agree hands down that they are untouchable.. BUT.. they are $4500 a set.. lol

Im running All K2 series.. like $1200 a set.. and a Utopia Sub.. PolyGlass are the ones one step better than Access.. they are like $300-500 retail

IM gonna go out on a limb and say there is no way in hell they are real.. (there ARE knock off speakers of alot of high end brands) Did they come with the monoblock? The y might be polyglass and someone just called them utopias.. polyglass are still SICK but the cheapest i can find Utopia for online is $4000

why not a full alpine system? alpine type-s component speakers with a nice amp to power them. (and a sub box, duh)

because alpine highs suck... unless you just wanna get the best speaker you can fit on your Sears card... even their high end stuff sounds like its wrapped in a wet blanket.. alpine should stick to making $69 co-ax sets.. imo.. since they all sound about the same anyway.
