    Should I bi-amp Focal PS165F components?

    Sorry for the late update.  I've resolved some problems, now I've got a slew of others to deal with.

    Building new system in stages - suggestions?

    Building new system in stages - suggestions?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums and I wanted to ask for some advice. I just bought a used car.  It's a 2013 Honda CR-V.  It's nothing special, but it is the highest trim (EX-L), has very low miles and is in excellent condition.  I wanted something relatively nice, with good gas mileage...
