Alpine PDX
I am getting a JL sub and Focal speakers. Was originally going to put 2 JL amps but then I came across the ALPINE PDX 4.150. Can this amp really power the 2 front door speakers and the JLW3 sub?? I have heard amazing things about this amp. I would like for the amp to match the sub but this alpine seems bad a$$ and it would save money.
Would you mount the amp behind the seat and would this puncture the leather?
I thought I found Focal 165V1 in 5'' 1/4 but I cant seem to find them now only in a 6''? Was I dreaming or what?
Appreciate the help!

Sorry, one more thing. I am wanting to somewhat hide the amp, thats why it would be behind the seats? Are there any more places? If not and I did get the ALPINE PDX then I would mount it in the little cubby hole in the rear left hand corner.

Not sure about the Alpine, but here is the one I use in my SS. Plenty of pure, high sound quality power. Eclipse makes good stuff.

That amp is a class d amp which is very good for subs, but i read a review somewhere which mentioned that amp had a low damping factor which slightly effects its sq with componets. Great looking amps though.

Which local shop if you don't mind sharing? Thanks!
