A rumor floating around Knowledgefest this year was that Focal has a new speaker in development to use in conjunction with this new amp, designed to fit the Rushmore speaker pods and handle the power of this amp.

It's nice to see the high end stereo component companies start to focus on the Sled stereo market.

Totally agree with Haze! This may not be the specs desired for everyone but I'm in the crowd that runs a little less efficient speaker in exchange for the SQ my ears desire. 175W off efficient damn power can take the speakers that I tinker with to the next level without having to add amps to space that is off limits and bridge such amps accordingly.
This also applies to the folks running powerful speakers like the 250w PRVs that really do like more power.

My gut tells me this will be an industry leading amp for the SG tray and also under the RG tray but those that are hesitant I would hold off until some solid reviews come in.

Or u could buy the,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, J&M,,,,,,,,,,,630w amp,,,,,,,,,, for more cash ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, cause that's really the best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, amp in the world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

It's the best amp available for your Harley Davidson Motorcycle. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

For the extra 50 bucks this might be a winner especially if it's a more efficient amp and puts out rated without needed 14.4 volts. And for the RG's it's gotta be the most juice they can get from one amp that fits right under the radio. What's interesting is they are shipping them with HD speaker connectors/quick disconnects wiring. This was specifically built to target this market. I think it'll be a hit.
Honestly I feel the price and performance is about on point for the current market. Having the pre wired plugs and being designed around the HD platform like the moto 600.4 is will give a lot of options for guys to run a single amp vs 2. I am definitely looking forward to hearing some more info and feedback on this.

Just ordered this amp. Will report back when installed and tested. Focal is planning a big rollout marketing push so there should be a bunch of info regarding this amp towards the middle to end of the month.
They are pretty damn excited about this little power house!!!!!!! Me too!!!!

I'd say if this thing is a hit with the sled audio market that dream 6 channel won't be far behind. Pretty smart guys at focal to create this amp. They definitely done their homework!

This looks like a great piece.

Maybe l overlooked it somewhere but will this amp eliminate the need for a line level converter seeing how it comes with rushmore style speaker connections?
