Amp Question on Focal Components
OK...Here goes:
1)Looking to do the following installation and my questions is, what amp specs should I be looking for in order to have optimal performance. I am a newbie at this audio thing and am looking to learn some stuff pretty quickly
.
In the front:
Focal 165k: If anyone thinks this is a bad idea due to sizing, please let me know b4 I spend my life savings on new speakers..thanks
SPECS FOR FOCAL 165k:
2-way separate system
165mm (6-1/2") midbass
25mm (1") v.coil
85mm (3-3/8") magnet
TN 45 tweeter
2-way separate high-pass crossover 18 dB/oct. (3.5kHz)
Adjustable tweeter level
Max power handling: 160W
Nominal power handling: 80W
Sensitivity (2,8 V/1m): 93 dB
Frequency response: 50 Hz - 20kHz
Now for the rear doors I was thinking of keeping consistent and stick with the
focal 165hc in the back
SPECS:
165mm (6-1/2")
2-way coaxial, bi-amp option
30mm (1-1/4") v.coil, 85mm (3-3/8") magnet
25mm soft dome tweeter
Integrated crossover (5kHz)
Max power handling: 120W
Nominal power handling: 60W
Sensitivity (2,8 V/1m): 92.5 dB
Frequency response: 60 Hz - 20kHz
Does anyone have any suggestions as to:
A) Is this a good combination, or can I go with better rear speakers.
B) Will these components fit with limited hassle...due to the Acura/Blose limitations on depth, etc.
C) Any tips on amps...that is the real question...what 4 channel amp can I get to fit these specs accordingly? (On a budget
)
Also considering the infiniti perfects for the rear door...if anyone has any other suggestions, they will be MUCH appreciated....
THANKS
Mike

I haven't made the purchase yet. I am looking to buy the pieces separatelyh and install them before the spring. The Focals will run around 320 for all 4 doors...including the components in the front.
J.T. ...how did those fit?
