[QUOTE="Troponin, post: 8625856, member: 671853"] So I think I have decided to just go with the Focal 10s (Unless someone tells me that the Focal 12 sounds so good, I can save a crap load of money just doing a single 12). The place installing these compete with Focal and do really, really well. I am hoping since I am going this route, they know how to get the best performance out of these speakers. Actually, if I do the 12, I can get the amp and the 12 at the same time, where as, with the two 10s, I will have to upgrade later. That being said, I still like to have the opinions of others here. It gives me a way to know if someone is pulling my leg for a sale. I want to eventually get out of my CAB 1600.1 and replace it with something “cleaner”, if there is such a thing. I mean, does a 1600w amp that has been bench tested at 1600W RMS not deliver “clean” power if you’re only pushing it by 50%? This is where I start to get confused. Is a 1,000W kicker or Pioneer going to be “clean”, or am I going to be back in the same situation? Can y’all give me some ideas on what kind of amps I should be looking for? The Focals are rated at 600W RMS for the 10s and 800W RMS for the 12. So what amps are “clean”? [/QUOTE]
