PostSubject: Focal and Vibe Speakers   Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:33 am

I wanted to know if anyone has heard of or listened to Vibe Speakers and if they compare well to the Focal speakers. I know how well Focal speakers are. I have been competing with them since 2001 and have had great results with them. However I was looking at other speakers and installs and saw these in the little mini cooper at the Finals and wanted to know if any one has listened to them. Any comments of feedback would be great. Thanks.

Ya, I did. The specs on vibes subs are not bad. I got a demo in the mini and the suv with vibe. To be honest I wasent too impressed. Sure it was loud but the clarity wasent there. Not bad but there defenantly is better out there.If you are looking for a great sub with a low price check out Planetaudiousa.com and go look at specs on the Big Bang subs. bb215d I have a complete Planet audio system and I just picked up sponsorship with them.

Not trying to sound like at elitest but Planet Audio and vibe are 99.9% of the time not part of a Sound Quality conversation.

Instead of Planet Audio or Vibe if I was looking for bang for the buck.

Pioneer PRS720's, Hetrz Hi-Energy HSK165, HAT Clarus and there are other's.

You spend a little extra now vs. nickle and dimming youself.

The Planet Audio Big Bang amps are good.IMO

Sound good???
PLANET AUDIO is proud to announce the release of its new BB65PRO 6.5” audiophile component system. This incredible sounding component set features a 6.5” poly-treated paper cone with a santoprene surround and anti- resonant “open design” cast aluminum basket for true high fidelity sound reproduction. The 3-inch anodized aluminum voice coil and flat spider ensure increased power handling and perfect linearity. The 1-inch silk soft dome tweeter maintains clear and smooth upper frequency reproduction and with flush and surface mounting capabilities it offers ease and flexibility in installation.



PLANET AUDIO agree that creating the optimum sound field in a vehicle requires versatile placement. Our new Big Bang 6˝” component speaker system is the best choice. The BB625C will perhaps be the best sounding speaker you have heard.



PLANET AUDIO’s engineers started with our patented CRS (Cloth Reinforced Santoprene) Surround then added a light-weight and durable glass-fiber cone for optimum mid-bass reproduction. A silk soft dome tweeter was then added creating a component speaker system that is nothing short of incredible.

To complement our BB625C, our engineers developed the Big Bang Series of speakers. Featuring the same technologies as our BB625C component system, these co-axial speakers are the perfect addition to any sound system. The Big Bang Series of co-axial speakers are actually speaker systems that can be run with either the included passive crossover or they can be bi-amped to optimize response and efficiency.

Sound Quality is all about trial and error ... put a set in, if i sounds good to you, keep em ... if not, try another ... everybody has a different opinion and pocket book ... i've learned that sounding good and winning sq comps. is totally different ... especially when installation is a major part in sq ... "speaker location is very important" ... to most people, some drive fords, others drive chevys. depends on what you want out of your vehicle ... I personally like Old School Stuff ... worked good for me at finals ... hopefully do better next year ...
