Hi all,
I just thought I would share this with everyone. I recently replaced my front dash speakers in my cab to a brand called Focal, they do a 4" coaxial speaker that fits straight in using the standard grills and they sound amazing.
I accept that there probably isn't many audiophiles on here, but I expect that most peeps would appreciate good quality sound. I am very much into my audio, home and car and anyone that knows of Focal will know that they make high end sound quality (SQ) speakers.
The model I'm talking about can be found here: http://www.focal.com/en/access/467-1...052750676.html
In my usual group buy stylie, I approached the UK distributor for Focal and asked if I could work with them for a forum group buy and the answer was yes.
They haven't discussed figures/quantities as yet, but they would like to know how much interest they would generate. They normally retail for £90-£100, but I anticipate getting them for much less.
In my opinion, there isn't much out there that would be better in terms of SQ for the money and that doesn't require custom install. It took me approx. 5 mins per side to fit and it's up to you whether you want to use an external amplifier or not. I'm not using an amp and they are still a vast improvement over the standard speakers.
So if you fancy treating your ears then give me a shout (PM).
****************UPDATE********************
Hi all,
Right, there has been a lot more interest on these than I expected! I have spoken to Focal this morning and they can do a forum price of £65 + postage to UK addresses for a set of the Performance Access 4" speakers part: 100AC (dash mount).
I will update the thread on page 1 to show this.
A few of you are asking for rear speakers as well, so can someone tell me the sizes of the rear speakers on a coupe and avant (if different) and I will get prices on those ones too.
Alternatively, if there is anything from the Focal catalogue you like, then PM me with what you want and I will get the prices for you. Here is the link: http://www.focal.com/en/43-car-audio-systems
I will try and respond to PM's and posts as quickly as I can.
****************ANOTHER UPDATE*******************
I have found the downloadable catalogue from Focal. If you look through it and find the model of speaker you want, then you can see the spec of the speaker including mounting depth measurements.
It would be great if someone can confirm the depths on both avant/sedan and coupe rear speakers??
Here's the link: http://www.focal.com/en/56-universal-
Once on the page, click on 'Catalog - Car Audio 2014 (EN)'
****************UPDATE 24/02/2015******************
1. Supply of the Focal 100 AC 4" dash speaker for £65 + £5 delivery to UK addresses only. International will require the address for quoting.
I know that this speaker will fit the front of all Audi 80 Coupes/Avants/Saloons etc.
Anyone that wants rear speakers as well will have to tell me what they want from the Focal brochure (page 1), but it will be down to the end user to tell me if they will fit or not as I cannot be held responsible for the fitments. So please check your rears and let me know
2. Payment - via Paypal for ease to s80yas@hotmail.com as a gift only or you pay charges. I can do bank transfer if you prefer, just let me know.
Once you have made payment, then let me know ASAP so I know who's is who's.
3. Delivery - I will place the order in one go once the majority has paid and submitted their requests. Don't worry if you 'miss the boat' as I can always do individual orders, just might cost a bit more for delivery.
Focal will only send the orders to me directly and will not send out individual orders, so I will despatch everyone's order once I have all your address details etc.
If anyone is in a rush to order and cannot wait any longer then please PM me straight away and I will raise a separate order for you, but as mentioned already the postage cost might be slightly higher.
I hope this all makes sense, but please feel free to contact me if not.
Many thanks
