I need some help guys/gals. I will most likely be running a set of Focal 165K2P comps and a 12" ED kv.2 sub from Elemental Designs. The sub can handle anywhere from 400-900 watts and the 165k2p's are a 200W max speaker although i have been told they can handle every bit of 200W if done correctly.

I would like to buy one nice amp to power both the comps and the sub. the first amp i have found that is capable and in my price range is the SoundStream TR800.5. its a 5 channel amp that does 200x2, 400x1 in bridged mode.

Amp specs found here>>> http://shop.store.yahoo.com/discave/trsost5chcar.html

This seems like the perfect amount of power for the comps and the sub. I was just curious if any of you had any experience with this amp, or an amp/setup similar to what mine will be.

any advice or comments are appreciated.

Thanks...

that is one serious amp, I have not used the newer Trantula amps yet, but I am still a big time Soundstream fan so if you can afford it and you need a 5 channel, this is one of the better ones out there

memphis belle

here's the big one, with 1100 wrms on the sub and 75wrms per the other 4 channels

here's teh lil belle....400wrms for the sub and 55 per the other channels

if all u'r planning on running is 400-500 wrms on ur sub, u won't need 200 wrms on ur highs. it takes less power to get the highs as loud compared to the lowend. i'd suggest the lil belle in ur case. it's a great all around amp, and if bought from a dealer (ie, NOT online), u get a 4 year warranty.

something else to think about daos..
