New FOCAL Fairing amp 4x175w!
#221
Right, just the one amp in the fairing above the HU. Motos in the fairing and Polks in the TP. I called the Focal USA customer support number to get their view... waiting for the call back from them....

Interested in the outcome as I'm a few clicks behind your amp order and very impressed with your Pacific experience. Keep us updated and with Focal's response also.
From Focal's site I got these specs but I'm pondering if the bridged 4ohm is legit:
Specifications:
Power into 4 Ohms 4x175W rms
Power into 2Ohms 4x250W rms
Bridged mode into 4 Ohms 2x500W rms
For comparison the JL M400/4 is:
@ 4 Ω 75 W RMS x 4
@ 2 Ω 100 W RMS x 4
Bridged @ 4Ω 200 W RMS x 2
...so 300W more per ch @bridged 4ohm w/ the Focal? 60% more?!
Some previous posts state it's not continuous power, or conventional to a similar amp output. So every other song gets power? LOL What does noncontinuous power mean?
And so far one amp reported smoked and another with jacked channels? Typing this makes me lean towards an M700/5...
A few posts of purchases for the Focal but no real reviews or impressions. What's the verdict new FDP owners?

I will follow up as things progress. The Focal Factory (Orca) tech guy is on vacation till the 3rd so nada from them yet. The BT355s arrived just a few days after I ordered them... pretty quick. Don’t know the status of the replacement amp yet... so holding off on taking the fairing off for the third time...

Besides having more power than the HDP4 (also smaller than this one) and the 600.4, what is the main difference (advantage) with these two?
