I'm dying to know how it compares to the hertz. Would love a side by side comparison. Would ditch my hertz if it's a noticeable difference

Not gonna get too far out in front of any reviews till I get some **** time on the sled but initial impression is that it meets the Focal standards. Damn superior sound quality.

Well thought out Harley sled amp right out of the box. Everything included in the box to call this a "plug and play" install for those that choose to call it that. Only need in line fuses. Even has the molex connectors to get u from the HU speaker output to the stock speaker pod connections. Moot point if ur are using BT355 but for the dudes that go with an advanced flash in lieu of the BT355 u can plug it in and roll!!!!

Pretty damn small too. Not sure what else will fit on the JM tray with it but will throw some micros on there tomorrow to verify. I will be putting my ARC PSM there for sure.

Hopefully Focal will dial the price down just a bit but for 175x4 @ 4 and 250x4 @ 2, no JM amp tray needed, minimal wiring required, more fairing space, etc..... it could be one hell of a high volume revenue source for Focal. The current price just won't run that demand curve too high so hopefully the reps will provide the appropriate feedback regarding price point cause there is a bunch to like about this amp!!!!!!

Have a long road trip coming up and gonna run the hell out of it and will report back.

Fits like a glove. I wouldn't expect anything less than stellar from Focal. Agree price bit high but for the form factor to fit how it does and the design it is a tough one. Where this shall shine is the 2 ohm and the ratings I have been told it bridged at was very impressive.

That was my first though, but the connections are on the opposite side.

Yea that confuses me as well
I have the ARC and it fits perfect with the slope in the front on my 2010
I dont get the slope in the back.
Unless its to get in under the gauges? Pre rushmore

I'm gonna guess it has to do with plugs, circuitry, heat sink....but also with a slant in the back you can tuck in under the vent on the rushmores.
