Default Review my new stereo purchases

I'm thinking of throwing Focal 165v1 in the front to replace my Infinity 60.5's
and I already have a 10" Alpine Type-R (1022D) in a subthump stealth in the rear.
Thinking about powering the Focals and the Type-R with a JBL GTO755.6
I had the Type-R and Infinity's powered by Blaupunkt (PA2100 for the fronts and aPA2150 bridged for the sub)Type-T digital amps. Sounded just OK, butwas very stealth hidden under spare tire well and in front of stick shift underneath the console, but I just blew a channel on the 2100 and I am considering going "real" this time. Although I thought the Blaupunkts were OK amps, I somehow doubt you would all agree with me.



Opinions?

That JBL is a very nice amp!! There is no comparison to the Blaupunkts. The JBL is a 10X better amp. I get what you were trying to accomplish with the smaller size of the other maps though as far as stealth.

I'd go for the Focal 165v2s, they have an upgraded woofer and tweeter, they're a worthy upgrade over the v1s.
I really want to try out a set of v2s one day.
