Ok so I am looking for some recommendations for an amp for my speakers. I bought Focal 165 vr1  RMS Power=75 watts Peak =150 w 4 ohms Dumb question but I am assuming I need a channel for each woofer and each twitter so four channels.   Is it as basic as finding a four channel amp putting...

Well I'm not giving them away but I am sure I'll be the cheapest guy selling them. Not sure what they are worth. Make an offer I can't refuse!

Here is a picture of them on the box. Haven't opened them yet.

If anyone wants to buy the crossovers they are the stock that comes with these speakers.

Bought focal ps165v1.  Now I need to find and amp to match them.  Any suggestions? 80 rms  160 max Going to get rid of the crossovers if anyone wants them. Going to start/finish the door prep and figure out a way to mount them.  Hopefully there is enough clearance without to much work. Now...

Maybe, can you tell me more about them?

Ok, so lets talk speakers. These are what the guy at the shop, which seems to deal in large numbers with DD Audio said I would like.  He also said these are probably the best sq speaker out there.   I have not been able to listen to either, so there's that. A second place had these, in shop...

Yes, I decided on a carputer.  For a few reasons, not the least of which being I don't really have any idea how it all works and I wanted to figure it all out. It has not been easy and quite frustrating but once I get it all figured out I think it will be enjoyable.  I am into for a tad more...

I bought it mainly for the 10 year 200000 full warranty if you keep up withthe maintenance.   I put more than 100 miles a day on it just for work so having a little piece of mind is nice.  I have done nothing to it yet. Been working on the computer stuff but I think your assumption of it not...

Ok  Have the carputer put together outside of the car and running.  Haven't had much time to work on it but I plan on using centrafuse as well audiomulch and a few other bits of software for the audio processing signal. Still working on the soundcard/car audio interface but its moving along...

I will thanks. I have not updated this but I have decided to do the carputer.  I've bought most all of the parts and working on install audiomulch and a few other items.   Still have not decided on the speaker system yet but that will be next after I get all of this installed. I'll take a load...

Fair enough.   Is that because of the added complexity of the computer and the sound system together makes it difficult to know which could potentially be the issue or just that it is a lot of work?

Another question.   As stated my goal is to have a kick ass sweet sounding system in the car and if it's loud so be it but not the first goal. I found the Carputer thread and now I can't quite comprehend some of the techyy stuff but I like the idea of having the, to a novice, seemingly endless...

Thanks for the info.  I think I like the idea of prepping everything and then doing the install.  I like having projects to work on to numb the drumming of life.  Thanks again.

Perfect, I was thinking I might go that route while I figure out excatly what it is that I want to put in it.  Is there preferred sound deadening material or manufacture?  I think I used some kind of roofing metallic rubberized tape on my build 20 years ago.  I would assume stuff has improved...
