In post 186 there's a pic of the Focal amp mounted to the amp tray with screws.
For the Rushmore Ultra this is the breakout package Biketronics offers if you don't want to cut wires.

Very happy with the Focal Sport amp!!!!

But if ur the guy with audio discipline and does not have audio addiction tendencies I would keep an eye on the pricing of the new BT amp. Amazing damn power is being advertised and just set the gains and done. Industry leading power on that small of a chassis by a huge margin!!!!
Many of us like the gain and crossover controls but if u want a ton of power, reliability, exemplary warranty standards, and simple plug and ride tuning, that amp is a game changer (depending on the price).
Keep any eye on its rollout but u certainly cannot go wrong with the Focal amp if the broader functionality better suits your desires. .

So what kind of wattage are you guys that actually have it installed seeing it put out?

Does it do the rated 175W and is there any head room left over?

Anybody seen how high it can go without distortion?

I set one up yesterday with a rushmore stock head unit,PSM and the Focal SPORT using a DD-1 for max clean signal and it showed clipping at almost 27 VAC per channel and 48 VAC bridged.

I got this from Donna Fri -
"LOL... well maybe next week but more likely 2 weeks. It will require a Premium speaker/s up front and for the rear as well, also will work with subs in the backend. I keep pressing for a cost but haven't been given one yet "

My guess is that it won't be cheap , as the 4180 is already comparable in price to the Focal.

to get an accurate number it needs to be done on a resistive load.
