QUOTE(pskk @ Jan 18 2013, 10:01 AM) pshong, how much you get the Focal PS 165 from On cost.I installed Focal PS165 at shop near bkt jambul. I can't remember the shop name alredi as beens mths alredi. but it is at the same block of Kayu Nasi Kandar but on the other opposite side of the block. Same row as another auto accesories shop by the name of i thk On Cost or Costplus acessories. Very easy to find, if you cant find it.....i will try to find my invoice. Hertz I found at Class Tech Auto at Hutton Lane. I chose Focal PS 165 as i like the sound and price given by shop is cheaper compared to Hertz. Also it was new model with won award. Hertz I din get to test it as shop was out of stock, and price is very much higher from the price you can find in the forum. However I believe lots of ppl say Class Tech Auto hv better knowledge fixing sound system....so i guess maybe true. The shop i installed the Focal, not very gd. Aeroplane sound....i had to sent it back 3x befor ethey found the root of the problem. It was the focal amplifier i bought together with the focal ps165. I return the focal amp and took back my money and only bought the focal speakers. But I can tell you the price the shop gave is very good.....compared to all the many shops i went to in penang island. pros & cons... Can you pm me the price? Thanks... |

QUOTE(pskk @ Aug 10 2012, 07:16 PM) when i told the shop ppl I want Focal PS 165 or Hertz ESK 165, i was given the answer if there is no amp no need to buy them instead they recommend cheaper ( below rm500 ) brands or series. i'll put it simple to you:is it true that it is a waste of money to buy Focal PS 165/Hertz ESK 165 ( both around rm1k ) if i dont hv amp? no it's not a waste however the speakers won't be performing their best especially the mid bass. if you can live with that, you won't be wasting money at all for good component set speakers |

FYI, my current setup, PS165 + Alpine 117E without amp, sound? as their say won't be performing their best especially the mid bass. Max volume i can go is around 19-20, 117E max volume is 35. Next stage i will get a 4ch amp to power the PS165 to play passive, PS165 original come with 4 xover..Final stage will get H100 to play 2ways active...
