Does anyone have any experience with either of these Focal 8" component sets:
Focal ISS 200 8" 2-Way Component Car Speaker System OR the Focal ISU 200 Integration 8-inch Component Speaker?
I think Kenwood makes a 7" and Hertz makes a 8" set as well.
I'm thinking about upgrading my 2020F150 factory system and I'd like to get the best bang for the buck. Admittedly I usually try to work on a budget, however I'll spend a few extra $ when appropriate.
The truck is driven maybe 3-4x/month so I can't justify dropping a thousands into a system that gets used with such infrequency and either set above is less than $300 for the pair. I have considered SD audio and their yard sale, I've read plenty of good reviews so thats another option I'm looking into as well.
I know cone area has the potential to improve output so thats why I was thinking of 8" drivers vs 6x9 or 6.5's. I'll use similarly matched 6.5s in the rear and power them w/ a simple Kicker Key. I was going to go w/ the JBL 6 ch but the DSP reviews were hit or miss. I plan on building a fiberglass box for a pair of behind the seat subs and I'll stick w/ the factory HU since it has the nav, BT etc and works fine for my needs.
I'll probably grab some speaker adapters and block off plates from SGS, some MLV or closed cell foam as needed and I have buytl sheets on hand.
All said and done, the factory sounds surprisingly decent for a factory setup to me but I'd like more DB and eventually more low end.
Any input is appreciated
