has anyone heard these amps? I just tested my fp4.75 and all I can say is OMG. not to bash pg but i have tried them with the same items and for some reason to me they sound warmer and snap the mid bass
I have not heard a amp that I have owned that sounded so nice. it not over powering speaker its like it holds them and make them do everything they need to sound clean.
shit I wish now that I would have test my zpa .3 amp before i sold it
again everyone im not trying to bash any other amp I just love the way this unit sounds. I can't wait for my focal fp800.1 shows up to test that on my 15" sub
I am using 6ohm high end psb home speaker for the test. the Fp475 peak can draw 75amp so very close to my msp2500 i also tried
let me know if Any one has heard these or have owned one
they are not that cheap but I feal so far they are worth every penny!!!!

we had 2 running in our iasca car 2 yrs ago they are good amps and are very underated
they do have some issues more to do with me being fussy lol i dont like the power connections how they point downwards makes installing them a pain
the usb connector is very hit and miss as is the setup sofware which is a pain when you want to tweek them at a show

I picked up my fp475 for 271 us plus shipping nd my fp800.1 for 475 plus shipping.
as for the install im making a amp rack so the termenals will not be a problem
both of my amp are not the dual monitor so they don't have the usb on them
they are very clean sorta like the Ms very simple
I do like how they have the little green light on them were the power fp475 is the o is the led on the face of the amp

Im picking up some green leds of ebay to add to the install
I still need some cusotm plexi for them

I have to say before hereing them and owning it I didn't think much for them and there were days I thought I should have just bought the Roadster 66 but after yesterday Im glad all my grear is Focal and they sound the way they do!!!!
