Also if you have blown speakers already, i'd highly recommend you get your gains set properly and make sure you aren't using things like bass boost and LOUD settings, these can send clipped or boosted signals to your speakers causing damage to them.

Yes , totally need to have the system tuned/gains set... The JL's are driven by a JL 4600, so plenty of power.... The Focal's were partially blown when I got them, so no idea what happened.
The JL's are sweet, and clean, but they seem to be a class or so lower than the Focal's. Once I got them out of the car, you can visibly see a difference in the methods and materials used to make them. Given what I have seen and what I hear, my honest opinoin, for what it is worth, the Focal's, even if they are not the newest version, they still stand above the brand new JL's..........
Grabbed a new OEM carpet, now to find an upholstery shop to cover that ugly fiber board they used........
