I have been into audiocom, jb hi fi and alberts stereo in midland and all they seem to be selling is all the basic audio brands. Im talking Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony...etc You get the picture.
I am looking for a pair of Focal or Hertz (Decentish brands) components for my car ($300-$450). They have to be probably atleast 75wrms as i just bought a jaycar 4x100 (although specs say 4x130wrms) and i think if i get a 75watt speaker or less i will most likely fry it.
Does anybody know of an audio shop in perth that sells brands like these?
(btw i HAVE used the search button but there are no threads that i can find that actually link to an audio shop that is in WA for these brands)

Hmm.. I always get mine from my local autobarn, but the other one near me doesn't stock hertz at all.. I'd try any close autobarns.
The ESK-165's I have pump really hard and I think would be fine with that amp after you muck around with the gains, they're 100wrms for the woofer+tweeter, the woofers something like 70.
They can be had pretty cheap now, probably around 250, but if you can afford it, I'd go for the HSK's

Yeah, I would go to autobarn, but we dont seem to have any in WA! :( wth's with that! :nuts:
and i dont want to buy online because (unless its a decent shop) i have heard that there are loads of fakes online that look identical to genuine speakers but sound crap.
I will look into the HSK series...
Westside in Cannington sells both brand, and the employees are top blokes :)

is that yahn or however his name is?
i always find him really helpful, was in there today actually sorting out a sub deal i'll be going back to grab from him
on the other hand theres another guy in there that i'll just say isnt quite as welcoming as him and has put me off shopping there often lol

Thanks guys for all the help! I Went down to the morley shop today and got some Hertz HSK 165's and ECX 690's!-And at a very reasonable price too! The dude there (shop owner or whatever) was very helpful and cheery. Im happy to give my business to people like that.
