Focal car audio any good??

I have Focals in the front and Im not getting any midbass at all...I was told that I have last year's model as new models came out. These are still the yellow midbass 6 1/2 components but there is no bass. not sure if its the crossover at speaker or amp as the stereo shop did it for me..

Is the front door or back spacing deep enough to produce enough bass? And I agree the tweeters are a little harsh,....different than being bright...

The initial harshness will go away after break in. A lot of your issue with lack of mid bass is the door panels in the Z. I can't wait until fiberglass door pods are available from Wicked CAS for the 370. I bought a set for my 350Z and they made a HUGE difference in bass and overall output. The door pods aim the speaker towards the listener and imaging is dramatically improved.

I had a set of the older KP series and they sounded like 10's in the doors.

This might be the solution,..

I talked to the installers and they told me that that on the amp the crossover is set to full pass.... I ordered 6 1/2 mdf spacers..but reading the threads even though I have a base with Sport package, the door speakers are 6x9 cutouts? Not sure as I have 6 1/2" in there now, but will take the panel off tomorrow and see if it needs a cutout to be placed in there..

Can't wait for the 6 1/2 pods though as I saw 350z ones on ebay...

I took my door panel off yesterday and saw that the Focal 6 1/2" are on the oem 6x9 plate...

I ordered some 6 1/2" spacers but will have to make a 6 x9 template with a 6 1/2" cutout to use the spacer.....Hopefully this will solve the bass problem.
