I need help. . . (with my components)

Recommended Posts

So I have now went through 2 sets of Focal components. First went one of my tweets, so I replaced both (upgraded to newer version). then went one of my door woofers several weeks later(again replaced them and upgraded to a newer version as well as newer crossovers.) So now im going to start a anti-focal epidemic in my car. I currently have an alpine fully ipod deck the IDA-X001 or something. (the first version) and am running a Alpine PDX 300.2 with a Rockford Fosgate 360.1 sound processor. What do you recommend for the next set? and Any suggestion or is it just bad luck with focal? The leads keep burning off and you can smell them so idk if I need something a bit beafier? The car is fully dynamated btw including the doors theyre mounted it.

Another question. I have a JL audio W3 (that one day I will replace with a fi sub) and I custom built its box. I was wondering if you would suggest to close off the ports that were made (which is easily done with pvc caps) and replace them with 4 inch aeroports?

Heres the box and the car domain page.

First you need to find out what your doing wrong in order for you to keep blowing components (no matter if you change to none Focal brand there still gonna blow if you dont know what your doing). You need to be listening for levels of stress or when you start to smell something turn them down(headunit or amplifer) or make some adjustments. Your the one messing up the speakers, its not like Focal is sending you messed up gear so you need to take a step back and find out why you can keep a set of components in the car).
