hey, Ive heard the focal utopia's 165w and they sound amazing. I was wondering if the soundstream tr500/4 amp would be good for the utopia's. The only reason why im interested to get the tr500/4 is because i have the tr 1600/2 to match it.
And is $900 a good price for the focal 165w or does anybody know of another place with a better price???

thanks

Is price you have for a new set or used. I've seen 1yr old used ones going for $550 CAD. New for $900 seems like a good price.

and of course the audison/Focal combination is the ONLY combination that can possibly sound good. Oh, and you can install it however you want and it'll be the best sounding car ever. but only if you're using an alpine F#1 status HU and processor, which will not only make your system sound amazing, but make you better looking and help you get laid.
