Speaker Brands

  • I have always been an audio system type of person. Back in the day, i even did audio competitions for a few years.


    I use suncoast sound in Monroe, La for purchasing and installation. They are high but are true professionals when it comes to audio installation and customer service. I'm not a do it yourself type of person.


    I'm friends with the owner, I pulled up on the sling the other day. He met me in the parking lot and designed a system. The quote he gave a included a new brand I'm not familiar with, Focal, for the component sets. The rest of the system is JL Audio, for the amps and subs which I am very familiar with.


    Has anyone had any experience with Focal? Online sources all say they are high end speakers with great reviews.

  • @Drew71646 - something to consider - JL marine speakers and the JL Media Master waterproof head unit. Just came out in January. When paired with JL speakers it is awesome !!

    I might not be right but I can sure sound like it

  • @Drew71646, Explore their website http://www.focal-america.com
    You will be impressed with the systems they offer. I have to agree with you on the price...but you definitely get what you pay for. In this case, you get a helluva' bang for your buck! I've witnessed the quality up front and personal. You will not be disappointed. Now I am officially jealous...but in a good way!!! If this is your choice, congratulations my friend.

  • Focal has been around a little while. I used to do USAC and IASCA competitions for awhile and when I was getting out of that they were just becoming the go to brand. I didn't realize they had a water resistant product though. For the price of Focal, I would make sure you are getting something that won't get damaged by a wash or some rain. Just my 2 cents.

    Actively looking for another sling...It is time...

  • Soon as the sling gets back from getting its new 1320 header, exhaust, and led headlights it is headed to the audio shop. Thanks, @Br4hm4 and @V-SHOT for the positive comments on the brand. They don't have a "marine" category but my dealer says he will make it right if I have any water issues. They have done 2 in the last year with no problems. @Bill Martin, I wish I could add the new JL screen, but I'm already into the system 3K. I'm afraid any extra would give my wife an extra reason to collect my life insurance early!
