Focal or Blaupunkt

I agree...the Focal is a great speaker for the car. I heard a setup last year where a truck had focal speakers powered by McIntosh. It was great until you factor in road noise...My brother-in-law also has Focal speakers in his truck. He powers them with Butler Tube Driver amps.

I used to be one of those auto-audio nuts. It's nice to have a soundsystem for solo roadtrips, but alas I don't get to do that as much these days.

Thanks a lot for all the replies, I also think that Focal is a no brainer over Blaupunkt....but now I discovered another brand, now from Sweden and at almost the same price level: DLS www.dls.se , does anybody have experience with this brand ?.
This same shop also carries Morel car speakers but they are out of my budget for now.

Thanks again.

...ok, so now the second shop offers a DLS component system for the front and Morel speakers for the rear and just a couple of dollars over the Focal system.
What are your thoughts ?

Searched the car audio mags and it seems DLS is a pretty reputable company, and the speakers and drivers are actually made in Sweden.
So presently my truck is at the shop having DLS installes in tye front and Morel speakers on the back....we'll see how the combo sounds.

I have never heard Blaupunkt, but I can vouch for Focal.
My sister's husband is a car audio nut and he had them in his last car. Sounded very natural, so unlike the usual "glass tinted" car audio.
Mind you, he's a car nut in general....he had Gucci leather installed throughout at the same time.
Little G's and Focal.
Looked and sounded pretty damn cool.
