GR86 Focal 2 way component OEM retrofit

[Stardus.]

Time for the last piece of the puzzle... A Puzu.

I think I can deal with it for now. I do most my listening on my studio monitors and CIEM, if the car is bearable I am good.

I wanted more mid bass, ,less low to sub bass, less upper mids. And the basic 3 band one can't do it all.

But as you said, a DSP amp will make it actually good sounding!

I don't think the PUZU will make is good sounding, more make it sound the best it can. The signal from the HU is not clean enough (from EQ) and the distance between the tweeters and door speakers make time delay setting difficult.

At the end of the day, the Focals need the PUZU for the grunt and to tailor to your taste and the cars acoustics.

If I were to do this again in the future, I would go PUZU first then upgrade the speakers later.

I had PUZU only on my other 2 cars (Seat Tarraco and Mini F56) and it made a night and day difference. Of course, factory speakers cant handle the louder volume but I no longer 'spank' the system..., too old for that! EQ'ing to my audio taste is more my concern.

Just upgraded mine today with this kit, added some sound deadening inside the doors too - easy enough - couldn't believe how light the original speakers were, as if there wasn't a magnet!

Took the opportunity, whilst the cards were off to fix the window 'cracking' problem, with the fibre washer, so that is done now too

Just have to listen to it now!

(Have some left over sound deadening - boot floor ?)

Rear quarters if you haven't done so already. Single biggest difference is in that massive void.

I was also well impressed with the stock speakers considering they are so insanely light, they do well.

Thanks for this, finally bitten the bullet and ordered. Hopefully put the sound deadening material in the rear quarters!

I might be looking at a different sub, but it's good to hear it integrated well with the C7
