I am trying to decide which components I want to put in my new truck, I am in between Focal and Diamond Audio. The set I get will be the one under the best, I think in Focal they are $700 a set and Diamond is $500 a set.

ZACK I think you posted in the wrong thread. LoL
I can get you hertz which is a focal sister brand for way cheaper. Check out thier site. HERTZ by Elettromedia - Special Car Stereo
Old post I knowbut I figures I'd throw in my 2 pennies. Also, you probably already know my opinion......... Diamond d6
Still undecided
IMO, Earthquake or MTX amps.
I've used the D6's for 2 years and love them. But for that kind of money, go with Rainbow or CDT. You won't be upset.Quote:

And you aren't an Audiophile like some of us. To each their own. What about 750$ on one sub or 800$ on one amp? I've spent almost 4000$ on my stereo.Quote:

CDT or Rainbow is for you then.
.........or diamond audio.............
lol i seen some of those sets from rainbow that are way up there. i'm too cheap to buy an ipod or or a cd......aint no friggin way im payin $1500 for a pair of components
I've run Diamond... I know you're on that bandwagon, but for the money, CDT or Rainbow.Quote:

BTW.. infinity components + Hifonics amp = CACA!
Mb quarts are good, the jl ones I've installed were good but I wasn't as impressed with them as I am diamond or mb. One of the shops I worked for used to carry mbquart but we dropped them for diamond audio, I personally think they tie each other as far as sound quality.Quote:

You're an idiot.
SQ= Sound Quality loool.
Jk bud. Whatever floats your boat.

The majority of Jimbo's records are in the legal location, Not sure if he has paid any attention to the outlaw records since they started doing those. Regardless the ol grouchy bastage deserves alot of respect, regardless of where the meter goes it takes alot of works to beat everyone else trying to do the same thing. Not too many people have taken championships in SQ and SPL in the same year either.
I would get the Diamond Audio unless you go with the best Focal. I ran the middle Focal before and blew the tweeters, now I have the DA's and no problems in over a year.Quote:
