Break-In |
|
All hifi components -
especially loudspeakers - require break-in. A well-known &
accepted premise in the audiophile community, it is usually ignored in a
car system. Break-in is simple, just play music. The high
frequencies mellow down & bass becomes faster & deeper.
But since many don't do it, it often will take months before you have pounded
on the requisite 100 hours + of play to actually hear what the system is
capable of. So . . . |

I hooked the speakers up in my cluttered office &
used it as a radio/computer system. With cardboard boxes as enclosures,
it certainly lacked a little punch, but I was surprised at the overall
great sound. Hmm. Maybe I COULD get decent sound in my 911 -
not a particularly kind environment. And that's what I was after: decent sound. Not ghetto blasting bass. Not icily-etched highs. Just decent sound. But since I am in the business, the bar was set pretty high. Oh, ignore the rest of the clutter & the blatant logo display. I told the Focal car guys that I would write this & try to have a logo in EVERY picture! Haha. |
