Lol well what gave it away really was the amp. Since you needed 900W @ 4 ohms (and I think you mentioned Hertz earlier too) it pretty much limited to one sub lol. Shoud be an awesome sounding sub though. :)

FOCAL Utopia is so unbelievably expensive.
For the price of one Utopia Be set... I could build an entire car audio system that would be so awesome, you could hear it in the next STATE. FOCAL sucks. It sucks because it is overpriced boutique snob crap. Just my opinion. I know some people think they gotta spend a million dollars to be happy. More power to ya. DISCLAIMER: I am not referring to competition systems

Sqcomp know more than anybody else on here how much I disdain the idea of buying expensive subs... I once bought a 12" sub for $750 after tax... Saved over $100 on the purchase too. what a waste, sub was a quality built sub, but I later bought a sub for $370 that was better in both sq & spl... go figure... it probably wasn't as bullet proof tho as the spendy sub... and tho it was very impressive looking, it wasn't as shiney or cool looking at the spendy sub.
with that said, i'd pay $800 for a sub again some day... but it better meet or exceed one of the following... 1) 40+ mm one way linear movement & 15 - 18" in size 2) 32+ mm one way linear movement & 21-24" in size 3) 32+ mm one way yadda yadda & have an Fs of 12hz and play flat down to 10hz when installed in a 12-15cuft ported box. basically, any of the three options would make for an amazing home theater sub... and someday, I plan on having a basement, and having dual 18" or 21" subs that fit one or two of the above criteria... if not all 3. Car audio tho.... ehhh... cars are a horrible environment for stereos, and spending soo much on a sub is silly, especially when considering the reason for such high price tags is usually for two reasons, 1) brand name 2) proprietary parts that usually aren't any better than what can be made using generic parts (but cost a hell of a lot more to produce). I could show you a sub that would sound as good if not better than that focal for 1/4 the price. $500 or $2100... hmmm |

Yeah, that is exactly my point. I can get a JL W7 for $360. If there is no sub on the market that can beat the JL W7 for LESS than $360... then the JL wins everytime. If you show me a sub that can MATCH the W7 for less than $360... then the JL W7 LOSES. It's all about "performance value". Lets say a FOCAL sub costs over $1,000, and is only SLIGHTLY better than the $360 JL W7. Guess what? The FOCAL LOSES badly. It's all about "performance value". ( Which is why it is still hard to beat an Alpine Type-R! )

sq, here is where I put my fuse holder. There was a threaded stud sticking out from the firewall. I just drilled a hole in the base of the fuse holder and used a 10mm nut and lock washer. The wire is 16" long.

What? Getting stuff for free. I have been a manager of a stereo shop for 12 years. Just perks of the job. Last month I got a free Alpine INA-W900.

just a quick question
why did you opt out of having a bit one?
I mean, you are going balls to the wall on everything else, and a complete digital signal from source to amp? $hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
