if you can get a boston acoustic GT series amp. they have amazing sq and to match it up with a pair of focals that will be a great sounding combo.
i use a GT2200 and GT2300

I looked at the BA GT series amps first because they matched up so well, but they are to long to go under one of my captains chairs. I'm looking for something with a small footprint.

Hi, Jason, I think I was off focus. You were asking the amp. These Focal speakers have very high sensitivity (93db), that means you can get big volume with small power. Mine is only 40W/CH, when I had Focal in the front, OE in the rear, I could hardly hear anything from the OE, even I seated in the rear. I think any brand name amp will drive your Focal easily, just pick one with the right size. Remember to pick a sub with close sensitivity.

Well, I ended up buying a used JL Audio Stealthbox with the 10W3 in it. I hope it compliments everything well. Now all I need is the amp. I'm still leaning towards the Alpine due to it's size and capabilities. I will most likely purchase it this weekend.:)

JL HD series of amps. They'll just about fit in your pocket.

JL stealth

Hi, Jason:

Is this one?

or

With the custom enclosure, it should sound good. But with 10W3v3-2, a 2 ohm woofer with 85dB efficiency, I'm afraid you need a separated amp!

The one on bottom with the terminals on top is the one I have. I have a 2005 Z71 Tahoe. Why wouldn't the Alpine 5 channel amp work? It is rated a 350w @ 2ohms on the mono channel. I'm not questioning your thoughts I'm just not familiar enough with the technical aspect of it all. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Jason:
Sorry, my impression is old. With Alpine MRX-V60, 300W @ 2ohms, you should be just fine.
