Amp recomendations for focal componants

I've recently purchased a set of Focal Acess 6.5 componants and want some opinions on what type of amp I should run. Depending if I like them I might get a set for the rear's as well. Space is an issue because I plan on mounting the amp under one of the front seats of my O6 Tacoma. Thanks.

The small chassis Pioneer Premiere ICEpower amp would fit this bill. Rated at 75w rms x 4 and delivering more in most if not all cases, it is a small chassis amp and with a super low heat signature due to the full range class D ICEpower circuitry. This makes it a great candidate for mounting under a seat. Performance wise it has delivered in every single application with above average results.

Neither Zapco nor Focal make any amps that fit into what he is looking for and that is an amp with a small footprint. If you even read any of his post instead of just recommending three of the most expensive amp brands when you heard "Focal Speakers" you would have known that.

CleanTacoma - what's your price point for an amp and do you want a two channel or a four channel (ie. do you plan on going through the passive's or active)?

That's a very small world you live in... don't get me wrong those 3 Co.'s make great equipment, but I think maybe opening up your eyes a little might make this hobby more enjoyable for you...

I see you give praise for Focal drivers constantly, I run a set of utopias myself, but there are better sets out there, and to limit yourself to those 3 brands just seems very unfulfilling...
