Funny because my OA can push out 1.5kwrms at 1ohm and at 4ohms its capable of 950wrms and thats too much for my 2x400wrms Cheap Pioneer's ! also thats with the gains not even half way and the sub control on the headunit down low !
But i wouldnt trade it...........plenty of room for improvement, and it was a bargain at $320

I love my Focal's i have the 165v2's the difference between V1 and V2 is that the V2 is better for Midbass due to a better designed rubber for more excursion, and yes i do like the midbass thats comes with them and with the plywood baffle and dynamat it sounds nice. I remember when i first had my mate help me with the custom speaker install i was driving back from Flinders Street (40mins from my house) and i was happy with no even having my sub running (because i took the Mono Block out to reinstall at a later stage).
The only issue is that these Focal Polyglass tweeters sound very harsh at times !

Trust me i want to but not sure whether to keep it or not because paint needs work and no aircon !

Yea thats exactly right if i could fix the aircon for about $500 (which is no where near what i have been quoted, quotes were about $1500 might shop around) then i would probally want to keep the car because i like the colour and like ToranaGuy said i know what needs doing to my car. Also i have grown a custom to this thing !
Anyway today i went out and wired up some feet curtosy lights for the front floors but the Narva 10w Globes i used arent very bright (at day time anyway) so im thinking i wanna get some L.e.d's but im not sure what ones will fit in these globe holders. Autobarn or Ebay should have what im after might just look around ! (Also which way are the globe and globe holders meant to go into the slots ?

What needs replacing in the aircon? Most of the bits are not that hard to replace. The core in the dash is about $200, i had to replace that & the hose from the Tx that runs down the passenger side strut tower to the front of the car as it was leaking as well as the core. Replaced those, re gas & i've had great air con for the last 2 years.
If your core in the dash needs replacing, do the heater core at the same time, as the whole dash has to come out to do it! Cheers ToranaGuy

They put a dye in & turn the a/c on, you can find small leaks with a UV light, bad leaks will be able to be seen with a naked eye - it will leave a lot of dye at the leak. I was quoted $1250 to replace the core in the dash & the hose that was leaking, then regas it. I ended up fixing it for a lot less once i had a leak test to show what was required. Cheers ToranaGuy

I was told everything needed replacing once they had done the leak test and when i didnt wanna pay so much to fix it they give me what i paid for the leak test back !

Even the compressor? Did they show you around your engine bay with the UV light to show where all the leaks were? The sum of everything except the compressor at trade prices shouldn't be more than half that. To replace the condensor core in the dash is a big job, dashboard out size job, but 2 people can do it fairly quickly. Did you get a quote on paper? You could easily buy the parts & fit them all yourself, then take it in for another leak test, if no leaks get it gassed up, it's really not all that hard. Cheers ToranaGuy

They didnt show me the leaks but i assumed if they gave me my money back that were being honest, i was quoted about $1500 but didnt get it on paper, they said the compressor was the most expensive part !
