So I bought my CR less than a year ago and it was claimed to have Focal K2Ps, an Alpine KTP-445 amp, and an Alpine CDA-117 head unit. I decided I was going to ditch the KTP-445 amp as it started clipping well before the Focals were out of their power range and also re-wire everything to my standards. I bought a Focal FPS-2160 amp and started wiring up the car today all to see that the Focal woofers have some "modified" serial numbers. From what I've gathered online, this doesn't always directly indicate they are fakes as the whole "authorized dealer" issue could be a reason that legitimate serial numbers are modded. For what it's worth, they really do sound pretty fantastic relative to any other speaker I've used (Polk).

What do you guys think?
