Start with my set up. Jeep grand Cherokee. Kenwood DDX-9907XR Head unit. Focal PS165F3E in the front mid in the dash and tweeter in sail panel. Rear Focal PS165FXE tweeter in door about 6 inches above and just forward of woofer. JL Audio's CS112G-W6v3 12" Pro wedge sealed sub. Focal FPX 5.1200. I had this all installed at an car audio store. the setup that they had sounded exceptional. the installer and a couple of the sales staff all listened to this set up and all said it was the best for sound quality that they had ever heard. I've heard a lot of different set ups and I have to agree. this amp is clean and clear all the way to max volume of the system. I'm partially tonal deaf and with this set up I can hear things I have never heard before. now when they set it up they had 1,2 and 3,4 on the HPF. I switched it to Full and used the cross overs in the deck (100hz 12 slope on all channels) along with the focal cross overs still playing around. this really woke it up. This amp and speakers even at low volume shake the side mirrors. I listen to everything from Beethoven, Metallica, MercyMe, country and some hip-hop. My goal was for SQ over volume. but this has given me a lot of both. This Amp is power hungry. Need at least big 3 upgrade(not yet done). I have a stock 160amp alt and anything above about 2/3 volume (music dependent) and my headlights start dimming. Wife was unsure til first listen then said almost didn't want to get out. now she want same. Wife Approved.
Pros: Sound quality, Price for quality of sound, Good power variable sub disappears in to the music not over powering but can turn it up.
Cons: Price isn't for every one, Power hungry, Bass knob is a little on the small side but has good friction when turning. Like another mentioned the adjustments on the amp are a little to easy to turn. all these are reaches. I would buy it again in a heart beat.
