yes mate a local shop in sunderland called tunres alarms used to be massive with focal then just recently had a major bust up with the focal boss and has now dropped the gear and are using rainbow components, ive also heard that there gear is meant to be big and is excellent at the top end of the market, i also back this becasue turners alarms manage to win hands down every year at iassca sound quality finals

Turners have stopped dealing Focal?? 
Thought thats all they did there! Would like to see this Rainbow stuff and see whether it matches Focal.

rainbow stuff is high end, focal tweeters are very good, but IMO the mid units are a bit lacking in bass...

Ive bought a set, trusted the guys from MF2K Installations, getting them fitted to the Astra along with plenty of dynamat extreme in the doors, I will let you all know how they sound.
The reason I got these is that Stu, one of the guys from MF2K knows me personally and knows that I will kick the shit out of speakers, it will be running from a new genesis amp, quite looking forwrad to it, all using newly released or yet to be released stuff!

Oxygen stuff looks quite impressive I must say, the install in the Corsa C and the van (in Max P) look good.
What do they sound like?

Chillout mate, is there anyone up in Scotland using your stuff this year yet?

when i went up to scotland last week it was my first trip up there to try and get the company in to scotland, i dint get to see many shops as so due to having a longer meeting than i thought with fast and modified lol, i tried that mf2k where you go in glasgow and i have to pop back up when im next up to show him the jet range, i then made my way north to inverness and got a decent shop called performance scotland, they said that they wud put us as there main audio dealers and are currently putting in a big order with us, the other shop i went to see was revs in glenrothes, they were very keen to take it on and i have a meeting with the boss next week mate, we have come to an advertising deal withfastand modified to try and and get our products in to shops in scotland, this is comming out int he next issue which i hope does well
as for the sponsership wot we cud do is knock u off 20% or sumfing but we cant give away gearjust yet due to this been our first year and our budget being so tight hope this helps

Nah dont expect stuff for free although that would be nice!
Could you email me a list of stuff/ prices?
Would be looking to run 6" 1/2 components up front (maybe 2 pairs)
2 x 12 " subs (about 400w each at least), and obv an amp to run components and another for the subs.
Could you u2u or email me a list of the equipment that would best suit my needs as well as prices, and if I can afford it, I may give the stuff a try!
There are a few other places in scotland that may be worth trying as well.
