I am going to be running Focal 165k3's in the front doors of my regular cab F150, and a single 10" Eclipse sub behind the driver's seat. I need at least 100w going to each of the components, and at least 250w going to the sub. What is a good quality, fairly inexpensive amp that would push this sufficiently?

Is Carmedia1.com legit?! Wow, those are some pretty rock-bottom prices!! They are lower than Zeb Audio & MMXpress. Are they scratch & dent, "fell off a truck", etc.?

Not trying to knock the company, just amazed at the low prices (almost Lightning [Yellow] amp prices).

I've never ordered any rf stuff from carmedia1, but I have ordered many other products from them. They were all new and worked fine, but about half of the time shipping would take two - three weeks. Good company if you don't mind waiting, and like I mentioned earlier, it's only about half the time.

US AMPS 5600X, this amp will definately do the job. This amp in my opinion is the sweetest 5-channel amp ever produced other than it's stability below 4 ohms, rated 75x4+250x1 at 11.6 volts. Good Luck on your quest

I ran a similar setup with an ESX Quantum 1204. If you could find one it would work well.
It would put out 120 x 2 + 360 x 1 @ 12 volts. It is fairly underrated as well so puts out a little more than that. The quantums are really nice amps but difficult to find.

Hey Regal.....Yes, it would be the Swedish band. For everyone's info, they're as good as you can get in metal.

Anyway, thanks for the amp input, guys.

I had a RF400a4 and at the time I thought it sounded good but now I have a Cadence amp for my mids and highs and the RF sounds like crap compared to it. Also I have the gain down all the way and still louder and clearer than the RF was.

Hifonics Z700, 50x4+150@4ohm, and 100x4+300@2ohm
If you are only running 1 pair of components, then you can bridge each 6.5 to ch.1&2 and the other to 3&4, that be 200x2 bridged but you always keep the gains down, and you have 300watts for the sub.

I don't know how inexpensive this amp is, but an Orion XTR 800.4

100 watts to each front and bridge the rear for 400 watts to a SVC Alum and you're good to go.
