    Hi Mark,

    Yeah sure, can you PM me your full name/delivery address and just confirm exactly what you want to order i.e. Focal 100AC (that's the 4" front dash speakers) and I will respond with my PayPal details.

    I hope that's ok.

    Thanks

      utopia 130mm .. though its a 5" .. not a 5"25 ... or is 5" actually a 5"25???
      as I've seen the same figures been mentioned across both descriptions.. really confusing .. the F out of the reader.

      Its called the
      "13 WS Be
      5’’ Utopia BeĀ® subwoofer" on the site

      Will this fit in this setup? anyone got any new info on a good focal rear solution? I dont think I saw any 5.25"'s

        Hi Chris,

        The 'Utopia' range is the real high end for Focal and might be overkill and certainly very expensive! I can get them for you no problem if you want, but you will almost certainly need to run an external amplifier to warranty having them.
        I would recommend the Access or Expert series personally.

        Thanks

            Hey Yaz, what is the price of a "basic" 13cm set for the rear please? I could be tempted....

              I'm interested in a front and rear set...still seeking clarification on whether a rear set is available from within the focal range though...

                All fitted, had to cut three of the tabs as I just couldn't get them in! Fitted with the old spade connectors they are a bit loose but should be fine in place. Tried them out and the sound is amazing!

                I would be interested in a set for the rear of the coupe too if a size is available, however how difficult is it to fit the rear? I assume it's a door card out situation

                  I'd be grateful if someone just pointed out the correct size.

                    The correct rear size for the coupe is 13cm. (5.25"). BUT, they will need custom installation because the OEM speakers are a "twist fit". You will need to make some MDF rings to mount them to. See the links I posted above...

                        Just fitted front speakers!! very easy to fit! You have to break off 2 of the 4 side plates. then its a straight swap. Only one screw needed per speaker.
                        The side plate that doesnt use a screw slides into a slot embedded into the dash material and the connections are a bang on fit. You can re-use the same grill cover. These speakers (new ones focal). seem beefier.
                        I did even have reasonable alpine ones before, which I discovered. They are still better than standards. They'll be up for grabs soon too. Just need to work out a price. Thx Yaz for the great service and work matey!!
                        Very kind of you to do!

                          Hi Chris, spot on with the report mate. They are excellent speakers.

                          Glad you like them and you are more than welcome!

                          Many thanks

                            Hi Yaz, my finances have started to improve (Mrs back at work after a years' worth of maternity) so my first treat is going to be some of your 4" dash speakers. What do I need to do?
                            Cheers
